I know, I know.
But think how confused all those not-so-innocent AP English students will be, when they Google for the Wasteland . . . and end up at the PoolForum. It just makes me grin.

That would be pretty funny!
Never read ts elliot. I liked some of the modern Spanish poets like Nicanor Parra, and was a HUGE fan of David Ignatow--to me the epitome of a mid to late 20th century poet who didn't off himself/herself at a young age. (I had a friend who was corresponding with Ann Sexton and had heard from her a week before Sexton self-terminated...friend was broken up.) But was never really much of a poetry fan or maven.
Thanks for the info .The pump is a 1hp on a 300lb hayward sand filter
My pool was built in 1981 and has never had the sand changed.The sand was kinda nasty and when i vacuumed it , the closer i got to the laterals the more it looked like masonry sand.i installed new pool spec.sand,coarse in the bottom and fine on top. I got 5lbs of de that i plan on puttig in tomorrow.Today i vacuumed to waste until i got below the skimmers. I am now filtering from the bottom until it refills above the skimmers again.this is a great site and thanks again for the info.Oh yea ,thanks for the english lesson too.... :)
You never know what all you'll learn here. Depends on what kind of mood we are in! :p:p:cool:Quote:

Thanks for the answers everyone.Today we had thunderstorms so i couldnt add the de and watch it closely. I just said floc it! I added 8 oz of floc , ran in the house while it ran on recirc. for a couple of hours and shut it down. My pump has ran nonstop for over 2 weeks. I am gonna let this settle until sat. morning. My plan is to vac. to waste ,backwash, rinse and then add the d.e. I havent added any bleach in approx. 24 hrs. now, my levels are still around 5ppm after a hot sunny day. I did add 4 3in. chlorine pucks i had to the skimmers . I can now make out the third step in the pool entrance.
