slippery steps

Just a thought but how about strips they sell for bath tubs? Have no idea what it does to vinyl but I suspect, nothing. It may not even stick to vinyl.

Hi, folks,

The bath tub strips work great....they're on the top two steps of my pool. However, Diane was looking for something to apply underwater and they won't stick.

Diane, I put mine on just the top two steps and it solved my issue....maybe you could drain down to one step at least and try them.

Ted, are you saying I have algae in MY pool?

Dave, I can almost garuantee that you have algae in your pool. The difference is that the algae in your pool is dead from a sufficient fc level and will soon be filtered out
MY experience with pools is a lot different from most of the members here, I don't own one (the condo association won't let me put one in [and I think they're begining to suspect I put in the 2, 1000000 gal storage tanks, under the parking lot, for the water everyone sends me. ]), usually the only reason I see a pool is because it needs to be built or there is a problem. I've never known the joy/ hastle of having my own pool. (I'm going to start a thread in China or Off topic on this) I wanted to make sure that Diane's cl levels were right, as she's a newbie, sometimes the 'simple fix' is the right one and I didn't know a way to give her what she needed.
However, I've come up with a possible pool solution. Without draining any water, use the bathtub strips (though the fish shaped ones would be more apropriate) but coat the back, glued, side with liner patch glue - (bonus - when applying the patch, or in this case, strips,- use a wallpaper roller to work out any wrinkles or air bubbles, works like magic!). Just my $.02, what do I know? - Ted
