    No! No! No! Worms!

    Thanks!! Ran filter all night. All the dirt and muck is in the middle now. Going to vacuum that up to waste. Then will just run vacuum a couple hours on its own. Water looked better now that it was all in the middle. Just a little cloudy.

    Why would this happen? Did I do something wrong? It was almost like it stained my skin.

    No! No! No! Worms!

    We just opened pool. It was so easy last year, pool was clear as we closed it when we opened. We figured this would be quick and easy. Nope. The water is technically clear if you scoop a cup of it. There was red stuff on top of the cover as we syphoned off some water. I noticed an earthy...

    Oops! ? Water temp!!

    Took out ladder, vacuumed, tested CYA, gonna run pump 24 hours, loaded chlorine up to shock level. Then just came on and double checked what I needed to do, and saw the water temp needs to be below 60!! Ugh. The pool is at 70°. We were going to drain tomorrow, put the cover on and put the pump...

    Do I have to SLAM when opening?

    Peeked under pool cover, water looks as clear as I left it. If all is really well when I remove the cover and the needed water, do I just get it back to my normal levels of do I have to SLAM? Was told I must shock pool but since I don't use their method, I didn't know if it was necessary...

    Closing AGP really that easy?

    Thanks Jeff!! I really like your cover, but think going to go a little cheaper this year. That's a primo cover you got there. Do I need a pillow under my cover? If so, 4x4, 4x8? This is cover I was thinking...

    Closing AGP really that easy?

    Just read the sticky for closing AGP. So, do I really just put water up to shock level for 24 hours before completing the close. That's it??? Two people asked me if I bought a closing kit yet. I assume they mean chemicals. I followed the TFP Method and my pools been perfecto! My first summer...
