Thanks PoolDoc! I am really hoping that I do not have to drain and refill my pool so I am going to do the bleach method for awhile and see if it helps! I so wish I would have talked to someone about this before even adding the bromine tablets!

Unfortunately, there are not too many places you can go for that sort of info.

Luckily my water is doing great thanks so much!

I am interested in a pool heater but have been looking online and they are so expensive! I have researched and the Haywards are closest to my price but still a little to pricey! Does anyone have any advice on where to purchase these for a great price? I live in Iowa so the water is already getting to cold at night. I would love to be able to use the pool all winter but have seen that it's not possible without a really expensive heater; is this true?

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

Oh and I guess I should have elaborated a little bit more and explained that I have found some brand new Hayward heaters on Ebay for $669-$739. Is this as cheap as it gets? We just bought this pool and am so not ready to take it down! It was so much work to put up! Leveling the ground and so on........Please help!

Shandy;

If you are struggling to spend $700 on a heater . . . you need to forget about them. You'll spend that much PER MONTH, if you try to heat an outdoor pool in Iowa in January and February! Heated outdoor pools are for people who can afford to waste $1,000 per month.

Sorry . . . .
