Lowe's in Southeastern PA has plenty of Pool Chlorine -- 10% at $3.23 per gallon.

thank you again. I really appreciate it. I was looking for regular bleach.

Noted. Thanks again. I will keep looking for bleach. I have been checking in my area and most stores are sold out.

I do have a salt water pool. I am going to be opening it in aa few weeks and usually use bleach to SLAM the pool at opening. With the shortage of bleach I was going to use the Cal Hypo instead.

Thank you very much!!!

Hello, Does Calcium Hypochlorite have a shelf life? With the shortage of bleach, I was considering using Calcium Hypochlorite instead. I have some that I bought 12-18 months ago. Thank you, Mike Lansdale, PA

Sure, what specifically?

I also have a gunite pool and close my own pool, typically not until late October. (Live near Philadelphia). After my pool is closed, I add chorine about once a month to get the FC up. So far this has seemed to work as I open to a clear pool each spring when I open it in April.

Blowing them off will help to keep your cover clean. Some leaves sometimes get under my safety cover into my pool, so blowing them off of the cover and out of the pool area is always a good idea. Great looking pool!!!

Thank you to for the TFP community. I have learned so much here. It is amazing how many of my friends and neighbors who have pools but don't follow TFP look at me like I am crazy when I tell them I have never set foot in a pool store and manage my pool myself. Anyway... My question is...

Philadelphia Suburbs. Opened 4/9 and water was 58. Water has been slowly climbing and today is at 67. I am nearing the point where I will turn on our heater for our spa which is 800 gallons. Water is too cold to heat the entire pool.

I sanded them down, but unfortunately I sanded one too much and now it won't stay in. The other two fit perfectly now. I believe they are made by Aquastar...

Hello, My pool was finished last fall and closed by my builder. I opened the pool today and for the life of me can not get the eyeballs back in. I have banged on them so hard to get them back into the wall returns I am afraid I am going to break them. Does anyone have any tips or should I...

The CH of my fill water is 200. I just tested it for the first time. To clarify, should I expect my CH to rise or fall on its own over time? Thank you!!!

Hello, My 30,000 gallon gunite pool was completed in August 2016 and I closed it in early November 2016. I live near Philadelphia. I have a mesh safty cover. Today I pulled back the cover to check the water level and decided to practice my water testing skills using my TF 100 test kit. My...

Most decent air compressors allow you to control the PSI coming out of the hose which should address your concern of too much PSI in the lines. I just closed mine for the first time using an air compressor and it worked great. The only reason I went with the air compressor over the cyclone is...

Awesome, thank you!

Hi JVTrain, Regarding your statement "Only running the pump at night, with the solar cover off before closing can help bring the pool temp down sooner." That was the first time I saw this and will begin to follow that advise. Are you able to provide any background behind this as per why that...
