Thank each of you so much

You'r so right, but we love it here. Speaking of shock!!! Do I need to shock the pool if my numbers are all ok?

Nope, no need to shock the pool unless you start losing chlorine overnight, the water starts to look dull/hazy, your CC gets over 1 ppm, you find a dead animal or a swimmer with a poop accident, or you start to see signs of algae.......I also shock mine after hurricane-induced storms and after several days of heavy swimmer load, just in case....

Glad you like it down here--I do, too. Born and raised here--spent some time living on the east coast (job transfer) but quickly decided that I hated it and came "home". Have no plans to leave again!
