Thanks so much. In my head I was thinking if it was around 10 gallons/month that would be doable. I'm figuring I could fit 10 in a shopping cart.

I've learned every bit of info I know from the forum. The first year I had my pool I brought my results to a pool store they sold me a huge bottle of Calcium which for a vinyl liner was such a waste of money. Not to mention all the algaecide, etc. I had test strips and went by the "ok" on the test strips and fought horrible algae the 2nd half of my first season. I read as many posts as I could over the fall/winter/spring and really got a handle on how to as CarlD put's it "stay ahead of your water".

I'm going to finish out the pucks this season and then switch to bleach next year, hopefully a year from now the 2 year old won't be so hard to take to the store, some would could him a "runner".

I knew the fighting would last for a while, my 2 brothers and I are 1 1/2 years apart like my two little ones and we fought up until around 10 or so, being the only girl sometimes it was a tag team on me. But now in our early 30's we are the best of friends. Hopefully that will happen with my little girl and boy.
