    Help me not murder my husband!

    I use a knee high instead of a tube sock and squeeze it in front of the return several times a day. only takes a couple or 3 days to finish. When I first started I used a tube sock and I guess it was too thick, it took FOREVER! to dissolve so I switched to the knee highs. Sometimes I double...

    Salt test strips vs k-1766 Taylor salt test

    I think my strips have been pretty accurate. I was just curious as to accuracy vs price I guess. Since I won't be using very often and Jason says they need to be replaced annually I'll just stick with the strips. I think all of your reply may help others with similar questions. Thanks again...

    Salt test strips vs k-1766 Taylor salt test

    Which one would be more accurate and which would be more cost effective? Test strips work out to $1.25 each but I don't know how many tests the k-1766 will perform.

    Levels don't seem to match up with what people report

    Levels don't seem to match up with what people report

    Straight out of pool school -"Lower Total Alkalinity": Aerate until PH rises to around 7.6 (the only way to raise PH without also raising TA)

    Re: HELP i'm in a complete mess and don't know which way to stev32k, you're right, that leaf picker upper is a jewel. It'll pick them up even if you can't see them but it's kind of fun to watch when you can see it too! Kind of a rewarding feeling for the effort put forth!
