Thanks Janet. I don't wish grasshoppers on anyone.

I lowered my alk in May by lowering pH and running the spill over spa nonstop. Brought it down to 100 from 150.
We just finished a flash flood and the pool is within a hair of the coping so I am sure all of my numbers have changed.
I am going to pump some water out and add bleach. Aerobic septic system alarm is going off. Why can't things be easy??

At least it blew away or washed away all of the ants. (for a little while at least)
