so...on the low side, I made a block barrier...added a some extra sand and topped with stone...it is a bit ghetto fabulous....but come on, I have a big plastic pool in my yard!

the first weekend went pretty well; water quality stayed pretty good...just some added chlorine as the sun baked it out....water was about 70 when delivered and is around 80 now...I dosed it again last night and covered it in anticipation of rain and in hopes of getting it back in line...also vac'd the bottom for the first time...as with everything about this little pool....it went better than anticipated.

now....is there any way to keep the chlorine and pH up during the day? I looked at CYA....but it says to add it to the skimmer....that doesnt seem like a good idea for me (since the filter is chincy at best!)....

thanks everyone for a great site and wealth of knowledge!


===================================

also...should I be adding the algaecide every couple of days?
