Recommended gloves for cold water work

[toddclare]

Years ago when we bought our house there was an uninhabited koi pond. It was my nemesis — always filling with leaves and the pump going bad. So I demolished it and… put in… a… pool?

I had these gloves from the pond days, handy for mucking out leaves and gunk. I’ve been using them to clean skimmers, get water samples from elbow deep, etc. since the water has been cold (43 today). They are thick and waterproof so they work, just lined enough so they stay not cold, and are thin enough for dexterity. They’ve been really helpful so thought I would share.

That’s amazing. I’m going to get a couple pair of each so I always have a clean dry pair handy.

You will look stylish on the streets of Paris, Milan or Gstaad and while cleaning out the gunk from your pump or skimmer baskets.

You can never take fashion too seriously.

water testing question

Back with another water testing question. This may be a preference thing. What's the general process you all use when testing water chemistry? I test mine pool side (usually standing in the pool but away from steps or areas of low circulation), gathering a fresh sample of water for each test...
