    'Mom is right (she is pretty much 99.99% of the time). None of the mods spends a great deal of time maintaining our pools--nor do most of our members (at least the active ones). Our methods are geared to being:

    1) Effective
    2) Simple
    3) Cheap
    4) Easy

    But you do have to be consistent.

    Actually, most of us spend far more time on PF than we do maintaining our own pools!

    That's what I do. I moved my old kitchen scale into the pool house and weigh the solids. Having grown up in a "metric" country I'm more comfortable using a scale for dry ingredients rather than cup or spoon measures.
