I was pool stored when ….
I bought my pool from a pool store ….and everyday since until about 4 days ago
Really, only myself to blame - ignorance (lack of knowledge). I had a blow up pool 4 ft deep. Used it one year threw it way bought another the next year. had a blast in it. Then, thought to my self “self, we need an in ground pool”
I have friends with pools and they highly recommended swg, so I ask for it. Basically didn’t want to sell to me because those are “outdated” sold me the frog system instead … what do I know ? Sounds great. Lower fc levels easier on skin blah blah . I could go on for hours, but in a but in a nutshell …. from ammonia to wwm to shocking with granular this or that 10 days in a row because liquid is “just so bulky and heavy to transport” , to cya is nothing to worry about, and your phosphates are too high . I’ve been pool stored more than my share haha!!
Mind you this is my third year owning a pool that gets used roughly end of May-Oct 1st
Btw on the “ammonia” bout, ends up I spent about $800 on chems with no progress at all.
Then, paid a guy (recommend by a friend, not a pool store person)50 bucks to come test my water with a “real kit” he dumped 4 gal of LC in said you have the highest cya I’ve ever seen and poof ammonia problem solved
But that was a band aid
2 years of headaches , now very grateful for tfp. newdude must have angel wings or a halo (maybe both). Of course ALL help has been appreciated
First year of pool ownership was bliss. Looking forward to having that agin
