Congratulations, Jen!! what an amazing transformation and these wonderful people that guided you along to such stunning results. Like you, we needed to read the pool school (and, for me it was a few times) in order to stop using pucks and begin our evening addition of bleach.
This has equated to incredibly easy maintenance, big savings, and avoided the significant costs (chems + water replacement) and nuisance of constantly increasing CYA levels that come with using pucks versus good ole' bleach for a truly 'trouble free pool.' What a great forum!
Again, congrats on a truly amazing, Do-it-yourself transformation. One for the record books for sure....
