Waste, you are right on there. I didn't bother to mention, that I've been buying PH increaser in FIFTY POUND BAGS!! So I really have had to work at it, but I've kept the PH up. And as you can imagine, my ALK is sky high as a result. Basically the pool is in need of help, but I'm simply waiting for the new liner, and a fresh fill in order to do it right this time. Let me add tho, that since I turned off the puck feeder I haven't had to add PH up one time! And the water is crystal clear!

Also, we do in fact have a heater, which works just fine. Maybe that's my small particle of luck in this whole messy situation.


Thanks for the welcome. I agree that finding this place was the BEST thing that I could have done.
