Ordered this yesterday from Amazon and was delivered overnight, used it first thing this morning. Works great, takes a little while with a regular garden hose, but it did the job. Both of my skimmers were completely covered this morning with more rain expected tonight in OK. Now I won’t be...

I have the artistic pavers in Cool White for coping and all decking. Love them!!

Thank you! I am getting some CYA in the water tomorrow, all of the local pool stores are closed on Sunday. I know the liquid form is more expensive but I figure it’s the best route at this point. I will let the pH sit for a bit until FC and CYA are in check following the chart above; does that...

Thank you, I definitely don’t want an algae problem so where do I start? Increase CYA and raise FC to at least 3? I’m here to learn.

Thank you! I tested earlier today which is when I got the 8.0 reading. I was hoping not to have to play with muriatic acid in this OK wind and temp of 14 degrees 🥶

Welcome! I am learning so much from this forum; we just finished our new build (12/1/23) with Eco Finish in Midnight Blue~Mediterranean Blue was my second choice. We are so happy with our choice in color and I love the deep dark finish of Midnight Blue, can still see to the bottom of the pool...
