Sleep tight beloved pool!

Now keep a close eye on the water temp when Spring comes around up there. The only times I get any kind of algae is if I don't watch the water temp and it creeps up past 60 and BAM there is a slight hazy to the water and some puffy green when I sweep the pool.

Question if anyone could help. Does the borate test strip expires. I keep getting reading off the carts even tested regular and same high reading. Thanks in advance.

 

[kimkats]

Any kind of test strip and regents can and do expire. How fast they go "bad" depends on how and where they are kept. Dark, cool areas are best for all of them. The strips are VERY influenced by humidity and such.

Thank you makes sense they were store in my basement which would get very humid at times. Thank you for the fast reply

Not sure if this is the place to ask but hope I could directed to the correct place. I got a second hand rs smith water slide but not sure on the installation. My pool deck is 4 inch poor concrete, about an inch of sand then pavers. What would be the best and safest way to install slide? Thank you in advance.

What model slide did you get? Is there a manual for it here?

You would have to position slide then mark the pavers. Then drill appropriate size masonry bit down thru to the slab. Then remove the pavers around hole and vacuum the hole amd use a hilti type expandable sleeve anchor the right length to grab the slab amd leave sticking up threads to nut the legs down. You need lateral strength with slides for tipover protection

This is exactly how my PB did our slide, a SR Smith slide, excellent post Jimmy!

Your PB did it right! it's a pain to do but will last and hold up guaranteed

I have a question regarding water odor. After heavy rain noticed a slight smell on the water. Not really noticeable but me and my wife noticed. Please advise. Fc-6 Ch-275 Ta-70 Cya-70 Borate-50 Ph-7.5

 

[kimkats]

My best guess is the rain water caused a bit of *stuff* to get into your pool. As such what you may be smelling is the FC burning it off.
