    High Bleach Requirements.

    All my test results are mid range of what this site says they should be. I was just trying to save time and not have to type in all those numbers. (I'm just lazy) My FC target is 5, which is what you guys say it should be for 40 CYA. It was running only 1.5-2.0 every evening and that's why I...

    High Bleach Requirements.

    Yes, it was tested and it DOES match the pool math. My question was "Why?". So, OK, the bleach is doing what it is supposed to do. I admit I didn't do the math last year, I simply added 1.5 every day and all was well.

    High Bleach Requirements.

    I'm not in La Guardia, I'm at the other end of the state. It's been warm, but not unusually so. It's fresh CL, not last year's. 4 qts seems to bring it to the same level as 1.5 in the past. The overnight FC drop was 1.0, but the pool did have sunlight on it for a couple hours before I tested...

    Winter Cover Pillow

    I have several River Rats already. We use them to tube down the river. I buy a new cover every year and the pillows come with them free.

    Winter Cover Pillow

    That's the issue. Without the pillow, draining the water off is not as easy.

    Winter Cover Pillow

    Had the pool for 25 years. Never had a problem before the past 5 years. Put the cover on in September with a blue pillow. By the end of October it was no more. Took the cover off today and it was deflated, full of water and at the bottom of the pool. The red plug was firmly in place and I...

    Pool Cover Woes

    I had a similar idea. Where do you tie the ropes off?

    Pool Cover Woes

    CAN'T KEEP THE COVER ON. 24' Above ground pool. We always put on a 28' cover, based on past experience. The edge of the cover has a cable thru the grommets, PLUS we put a second cable right at the top of the pool. Additionally, the cover is clipped all around the edge. I fill the cover with...
