No problem. I wasn't too sure if it made it through or if it got eaten. When I ran outside to get the info from the pump and filter the cookie timer expired so when I clicked submit on the post...it ended up requiring me to log in again before anything else.

I'll have to go ahead and see if I can find some skimmer socks as well. Three pine trees and three palm trees within wind fall of the pool will like drop a lot of pollen that has a lot of organics that algae likes to feed off from. If it doesn't help with this particular problem, it will likely help with that problem down the road.

If I might be so bold to make a suggestion regarding the moderation as well - you may want to change the permissions for trial users to allow us to browse the other forums and things like unregistered guests. As it is in order for me to follow that link (or look at any of the forums other than the "-- Getting Started at the Pool Forum --" forum) - I have to log out first. Says I don't have permission to view it otherwise. IIRC it is a simple enough change for the admin to make and it will make things much easier for newbies.
