yea i do that about twice a month Raven. Any more and the chlorine level is too high. I haven't done it in a week so it started to algae either yesterday or today. I neverlooked at it so it could have been like that foir even 3-4 days.

come on down to the sweat shop salty...

today it was around 117 in the studio...

sweating is really good way to get rid of toxins and is great for your heart.

I love it.

7 hours in the sun and the sans-A/C oven on wheels today. At least I was getting paid. I love being a fisherman where I work. Everyone takes time off in the summer= more time and a half and double time for me. Everyone comes back to work in the fall, and I start taking time off to fish and hunt.

Check your PH level and you might want to backwash the filter after 4 or 5 hours and then let it run for another 4 to 5 hours. Also add some water clarifier and vacuum when all done. Backwash filter again when you are all done with that too.

HTH is a brand of pool products. Every 4 or 5 weeks I will buy a packet of the HTH powdered supershock and throw it in the pool and let the pump run all night to filter the water. Your water will not be as clear after 4 or 5 weeks no matter what you do. So, just add the HTH supershock and by morning the water will be as clear as when you first opened the pool.
