No. About 8 hours. Today it’s much improved. Alk at 90. Ph rose to 8.0 I added some borax and baking soda last night. Not as murky. It just needs to filter for a few days.

This is what happens when you get lazy over the winter. It’s murky but it’s not the worse I’ve seen. I didn’t cover so my water has been replaced, at least a foot. It’s basically rain water now.

I have a 21x43 with one skimmer. While it might not be ideal, this pool has been cooking along for 7 years with the same old waterway 2hp 2 speed pump. (Knock on wood)I do buy a new 200 sq ft cartridge every year. She lives under pine trees, and whatever else is in these hills. I run it wide...

I have clay, sand, and 1/4 inch hardboard insulation under my pool. Stable as can be 5 years running.

It is approximately 1/8 of a teaspoon

Yes for a week. Even stabilized is ok if your god on your stabilizer. If calcium is well into normal the plain tablets are good. 5 or 6 tablets either way won’t make it break the bank over one week. Continuously using the will however. Have fun and don’t sweat either method. A pool is no fun if...

Oh you know when you got chiggers. Lol. I know people who got them so bad they went to the er. Make you want to peel your skin off.

Snake mating balls ranks up there with most vile things on earth.

Wanna have a stroke? This is how you have a stroke. We have a manual open garage door. When my husband pulled it down one evening last summer a 5 foot black snake came down with it on top of him. 6’2” big man screamed like a schoolgirl and I believe May have cried a little. I was inside the...

Giardia and ecoli gang where ya at? Nope. I’d trust a public pool over some random yahoo like me renting their pool out. I couldn’t even do that. I let the neighbor girls and their friends swim but I’m always testing afterwards. Plus they have decent control of their bowels I think.

Yes. I removed my old liner last year and put the top rails back on to stabilize it. It’s a pain but I had to wait over a week before I could install the new liner. If you’re worried about wind stake it inside and out between the posts or against the prevailing wind side. Don’t forget to smack...

I’d kill for an ugly omelette right now. I’m on a bland diet for colitis. I’d eat the heck out of it. Lol

Unfortunately nothing. Maybe a steak later. Like to smoke for an hour and reverse sear. I have been sick. My appetite is there but I can’t hold down much food. Inflamed colon. Pork is out but I think I can get my husband to pick up some beef ribs for tomorrow. All I can season with is salt. Lol...

I have an Aiper 1200 I think it is. 3 months in and it’s going strong. It even collects pollen. It climbs walls like a beast though and if your pool is overfilled, it’ll climb right out. Lol

Hey! I grew up in Ferndale!

I’m petty and I conveniently have a colonoscopy coming up and gotta drink that stuff. PM address of offending neighbor and I’ll have a package shipped on dry ice. 😂

I hope they help you clean that up. Maybe use those oil sucker uppers they use in the ocean or gas stations. Looks like a long snake stuffed with stuff. I’d be so unbelievably torked if that happened to me...

I don’t know about this thread but I knocked out a small brisket and attempted a smoked London Broil. The broil I cooked at 180 for 2 hours and seared at 500 to medium rare, after marinating 24 in soy, garlic, red wine vinegar onion. It was not too bad, not as tough as I thought it would be but...

Well since I quit drinking it’s not passing out halfway into the house soaking wet and sun burned. I generally get in the pool late afternoon so it’s supper time when I get out.

Indeed I have an agp. It’s not comparable with what you got. So really I’m useless. I was just missing 45,000 gallons is a lot of water. This went to the wrong spot and still no delete button. Sorry

I don’t have a recommendation but that’s a lot of water to pump. I need a new one soon to pump 25,000 and it’s going to be Hayward power flow matrix 1.5 hp 2 speed for like $500. Well it might be a $1,000 with inflation.
