Yes, I did want to know about putting it in the skimmer - I actually just went out shopping and got some Borax.
The problems we had were low to no chlorine and the dreaded black algae but we got that under control. We used to have a service, but stopped it b/c the guy wasn't showing up and was saying he did. AND on a weekend we wanted to use the pool it was GREEN. So we figured if it's going to get green it may as well be our fault
So right now I am in learning mode and VERY glad to have found this forum. I am going to add some Borax to the skimmer - the pH isn't HORRIBLY low but IS low and since I have kids who swim and their friends as well I always want the pool balanced perfectly.
You could say I've become obsessed with it I guess
Oh - forgot to say...it is an inground pool, about 15X30 but L shaped - it holds 11,620 gallons. And yes, we use the tabs to chlorinate, we were told they are the best way! Guess I have a lot to learn...what IS the best way to chlorinate if not with the tabs???
