    Poll- Is this weird?

    So, now I have significant doubts about efficacy of the TFP method. My faith can’t be restored without a report on the taste of the friend’s pool’s coping.

    What did you do to your pool today?

    it's been raining for 2.5 days, so not much. Got hubby to get a water sample and empty the skimmer bc I'm recovering from knee surgery and can't kneel down. (Maybe this can be milked all summer? Shhh.) Skimmer was full of little white flowers that got blown off my beloved snowball bush during...

    Trip and fall and Covid

    Hope you feel better very soon. Sounds like you got the same symptoms hubby and I had. I tested positive May 13. Took about 4 weeks before we felt like we were all better, but I have to admit that we still get disproportionately tired when we do something strenuous. Last week we took our 7...

    Official 2021 Pool Critters Thread

    Frog logs are the best. We’ve only had 1 or 2 dead critters since we started using them 5 or 6 years ago. Before that, it was almost a daily occurrence.

    With no solar cover and no heater, I don’t think we’d ever get over 75.

    Does anyone make an instant pool warmer? (If not...million dollar idea...)

    Our heater is broken at the moment. For a bit I was filling plastic bottles with pool water and putting them in the sun. After 2-3 hours the temp in the bottles was up 15 degrees. Then dump back in the pool and repeat. Then I calculated I’d have to do this 600 times to move the pool 1 degree...

    NOT a TFP POOL.

    I’ve turned into SUCH a pool snob. Granddaughter (age 3) lives in the suburbs of Boston. We’re babysitting tomorrow and it s going to be in the 80’s. I asked her parents if we could bring her to our house for playing in the pool. If you want to do all that driving, that’s up to you, but theres...

    What did you do to your pool today?

    Spent the mid day hours in pool with my Grandaughter. Brought it up to Slam level when we got out bc she very proudly told me she peed...in the pool. I tested first and the FC loss wasn’t bad at all and the CC was 1. Guess 3 yr old bladders are small.
