if you are a noob like me, I just want to tell you a little story...
About two weeks ago, I started reading TFP threads again after a winter of waiting to get my pool going again. After closing last October, we acquired a new pet... A "mutt" who decided to chew and tear up anything she could, including the pool cover and water tubes.
Well, after some warm weather here, I decided to start the process of cleaning up and getting the pool back into the shape it was when we bought the house... Sparkling clear. After pouring my first cup of coffee, I walked out to survey the damage and realized the coffee was clearer than my pool water.
I was pretty well convinced it would take a professional crew to get it back to its former glory, but then I got oline and started looking through the TFP website, postings, and especially the Pool School section. Then I broke out the leaf net and cleared the shelves of every store in the area of bleach, and began my journey...
While i'm not quite to crystal clear, I'm in the home stretch and will be soaking in glorious agua by the time the temps stay high enough to warm the pool to acceptable levels.
So, read, listen, and put into practice the BBB method Nd pay attention to the oldies (but goodies) that answer your questions...
