    I'm glad it's worked out well for you. Please do remember that something I wrote years ago is still true: it's much easier to take care of pool water, than it is to clean it up!

    The amount of WORK your pool needs now is a small fraction of what it needed in past weeks, but your pool needs just as much CONSISTENCY as it ever did. Check your pool EVERY day with an OTO/phenol red kit (2 minutes!) and keep your chlorine in range (per Best Guess) and your pH between 7 & 8 all the time; every day . . . EVEN when it's raining.

    If you do that this summer, you'll probably get to the point, experience-wise, where you may NOT need to test every day. But, this summer stick with it!

    I am back at it! At some point in late summer, I gave up fighting it. And when I went back to it last week (my Spring Break project), I knew what to do! I have my CYA under control and just adding bleach and borax. After a week, my water went from gross, active, swamp to a pretty (although still cloudy) blue. I am working hard to keep the chlorine levels up daily. I just want to thank you for all your help last year. I feel like I know what I am doing for the first time ever, rather than just putting in everything the pool company tells me to put in! And I'm looking forward to seeing the bottom of the pool sooner this summer!
