    Has anyone taken on the care of an additional pool?

    Bama is dead on. There is no way that I would be the pool boy. Once she sees how easy maintenance is perhaps she will change her attitude about managing it herself. If she is truly your friend, there is no way she would expect you to do it all yourself.

    What's your current pool temp?

    Air temps have been hovering around 80 the past few weeks, up to around 90 at times. That's practically unheard of where I live (at least for so long a stretch). My pool (heated) was at 92 yesterday. Too hot for me but the rest of the family loves it !

    Has anyone taken on the care of an additional pool?

    My neighbor purchased a pool this year. They had seen my water and asked for my help. I did not hesitate at all First thing I did was have them get the TF-100 before they even got the pool That made life easier. For the first few tests I had them watch while I did the testing, backwashed the...

    Mosquitoes are killing us!

    Next time you take a fishing trip to Canada, try Labrador. The fishing is awesome, but the black flies can make you suicidal. Un-frickin'- believable !!

    Why we love our back yard :-)

    In a friendly way what we're getting around to telling you is that continuous use of those pucks is going to eventually increase your CYA to an unmanageable level. Your pool will require much more chlorine than it currently does, and you'll end up with a green pool. That is how many here ended...

    What's your current pool temp?

    It's not normally this bad. We were swimming this time last year. Fantastic summer. Opened the pool last Saturday weather was okay. Rain and cold since then. A week earlier my buddy set his up. Same heater as me and twice the gallons in his pool (almost). Had his up to 86 in 3 days. Strange...

    DVD / CD PROBLEM

    Have you got a regular data CD you can pop in to each drive. If it can't read that, I'd try what MikeInNH suggests. Try your drive in another computer or another drive in your computer. That will narrow down the possibilities a lot.

    DVD / CD PROBLEM

    62 bit!! There's your problem!! :) Ok, silly question here. Have you tried rebooting? Quite often solves a lot of problems (reloads drivers for example). And just in case it's a codec problem download and install VLC media player. Lots of places to get it. Softpedia.com has it.

    Why are there worms in my pool?

    Hello frog!! The bottom of the "hershey kiss" pool is actually dished out a little on the bottom, so the worm starts his (or her to be politically correct - then again, they're hermaphrodites so either applies to both!!) journey in a wee bit of an upside down position. And when heshe reaches the...

    Why are there worms in my pool?

    Precisely correct Bama. My above ground intex will have worms on the bottom after rain. I have an elasticized cover. But it's not rocket science how they get there. They crawl up the side of the pool, under the band, and over the top. Then, glub glub glub glub all the way to the bottom!!
