I will have to get a drop kit tomorrow at Pool City or somewhere.
Mike- I went to 2 different stores about not keeping chlorine and not ONE of them mentioned adding stabilizer!! Grrrr
John- we mostly keep it off. The one time we put it on for a few days, the water was green when we took it off. Once I get these chemicals right, I will start leaving it on. Its starting to get a bit chilly at night too.
Soo.. since everything in my pool is basically low or non existant, can i just start with bleach, borax and baking soda to start fixing my problem. I stopped at Kmart today and bought some of everything.. B B B

Im ready!
