I left my kit in Indiana. Committee members have run the tests with the one they have, taylor k2005, and it seems as though there is no issue with doing that periodically, especially if we start having water quality issues. I won't instruct or direct the guards to do anything without running it...

257- I'm like a volcano...I sit dormant for so long then...poof! lol!

Thank you! When the pool manager told me 'less than 30' I was a bit nervous that he was using strips instead of liquid reagents. Then he showed me the tube...I didn't want to be so rude as to yank it out of his hand and inspect for myself...even though I wanted to!!! HA! I can't exactly do...

Thanks Dave squared, Butterfly, and Richard, everyone. I'm really glad the knowledge I gained here and in my former backyard is still there and able to put to good use. The HOA committee isn't bad really. I was at my first board meeting tonight though, and wow, that was an experience...I sat...

Checking in. I volunteered to be on the pool committee. I think things are going to be good here. The pool uses 12.5% liquid in big drums with a pump, lines, etc. :party: :party: :party: The guards are on top of the continuous feed and are very diligent in their work both safety wise and...

I'm pool less...and forced to serve on the HOA of our community pool....I'm officially wearing a black armband for the season in mourning of what I had...and I'm sooooooo hopeful (delusional) that the new owners are nurturing and stroking and babying my (their) pool and hot tub the way I...

ok y'all need to stop this madness and pool talkin'.....You're killing me. (I think I'll go wade in the stagnant water in the problem drainage area in my backyard)

Oh, we can have fences. One type/style only, which is fine, actually because they all connect together, ie, my one side is the neighbors side as well. Cost me a 6 pack and a bottle of wine for the neighbors to 'build' the one side of my fence (it was already there). So do you think that with ONE...

Thanks Beave...it's just a process and procedure like everything else. There's not a bunch of people standing in line to be on the committees so I'm not concerned at all. I see the point of HOAs believe me...it was clear when looking for housing here which neighborhoods had tight, regulated HOAs...

Ok, so I filled out the paperwork to be on the committee. I now have to be 'approved'.... :roll: Will keep you posted. I'm not expecting much right away...

Yah, Anona...I'm trying to put it out of my mind...but as it gets closer, that isn't as easy. They've hired a new management company this year as last year I guess it was not a pleasant place to be hanging out. So, I wouldn't be doing any actual maintenance or anything like that. I think it's...

Hello Friends! Just popping in to send a shout out to all my TFP buddies. I'm missing you and my pool for sure!!! I go pick up pool passes for the neighborhood pool today and it's with mixed emotions as you can understand. There's about 500 homes in our neighborhood...and there's all these...

Beave- Our weather has been great. 30s and 40s at night then days upper 50s and 60s. Not much different than Indiana actually. The neighborhood kids are all still out till dark, which is about 515/530 now that the time changed. Being on the eastern edge of the Eastern time zone is different as...

I had to chuckle with the 'south' reference, Dave. I'm in Northern Virginia in Frederick county which is pretty much WVA. It doesn't feel 'southern' here , except for the friendliness of folks and the mountains. People seem really happy to have jobs here so even the checkout person at PetCo is...

Hello friends... Just checking in. It's been two weeks since I came to VA permanently. It is so beautiful here. So far the biggest decision I've had to make is which lowe's to go to... We closed on the Indiana house last week. I had a few moments of sadness that it was all truly gone...and now...

We were very fortunate with our house sale, thanks beave...and I'll always be a Hoosier. VA has no idea what they are in for!!! I was born and raised here and it's on my birth certificate to be a Notre Dame fan no matter what... Unfortunately the house we are getting neither has room for a pool...

lol...I am leaving it here for the new owners. I know where to find tftestkits! I just got done getting the third degree from the pool guys... You're using bleach!!!! You know what that will do to your pool??? OMG!!! Yes, I do. And it's 6% sodium hypochlorite, just 4% less strength than the...

I'm sure I'll have to report back on the condition of the neighborhood pool... :rant: In the cotton candy world in which I'm living so far with this move, I want to think that, too, will be ok...lol..

Thanks! As luck would have it I got just one more day of drama with the pool..my pool guys came a day early...of course today was my chem prep and LQ cleanout! I had already gotten most of the LQ drained, but still had to do the acid wash for the white stuff, etc... I sent them away to another...

Hey there TFP friends... I wanted to take an opportunity to let you know there's been some significant changes in our lives. My husband has been given a fantastic job opportunity which is taking us away from Indiana to the beautiful state of Virginia. The house sold in 2 days. We close toward...

Well....we're all kooky cuz we swim in bleach water... :hammer: what do we know, right? Post that pic on your door and enjoy.

Well let me just say S. Alabama (and I assume LA) wasn't exactly WARM in March last year...froze our hiney's off in Mobile around then...

From one N.Hoosier to another....Salut! Happy Birthday! Enjoy!!!

Best of luck. Been following this thread...I really hope all works well for you.

I was at 92 so I put the fountain on last night...coupled with a bit of rain it's down to 86. This humidity and heat this year is unreal...

Ditto...but my 2 am is the west coasts 11pm so...it's still early for many.

Happy happy MITS!!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
