    Seeing how women love to wear pantyhose in the summer , I guess its a good use for em ,,hehe

    And I bet you get just as wet in that intex pool as you will in the big pool, so it aint that "dopey"

    Yep Thats my pantyhose!
    BRILLIANT! Necessity is the mother of invention and you've just invented the PERFECT CYA delivery system. I dub this: "The Hoffman Delivery System" This is the BEST use around a pool yet for the wife's torn pantyhose! You said "don't laugh" but I AM laughing! How can I not?


    Yeah I know it's just a little dopey Intex Popup. But using this forum and Ben's site, we learned allot and made our chemical mistakes in this little pool instead of a big one.
    The big one is coming soon.
    Hey! I resent that! Our first pool was a 15'x3' Intex Donut--back when they were surprisingly expensive. For 3 years we loved it (though I had water problem the first year--until I discover this place). There is NOTHING wrong with a starter pool. The water is JUST as wet, it's better for small kids because it's not too deep, and when you are sitting in a floating chair, in the late afternoon, on a hot day, with a cool drink, listening to the ball game, it's JUST as relaxing as the big pool!

    Yeah, the filter is a little weak, the ladder is dinky, and you have to be creative to have an effective vacuum, but I learned an IMMENSE amount taking care of it, bought Ben's PS-232 for it (worth every nickel), and developed the confidence to take on the FantaSea project that's 16'x40' and nearly 20,000 gallons.

    Okay, dumb question time. I just poured three pounds of CYA in my skimmer a couple nights ago. What's the advantage of doing it this ingenious way as opposed to the way I did it?
