I've gotten so much information from this board and it has been priceless. I've even been able to help a lot of my friends get their pools back after being green and yucky.
However, I have friends that bought a house with a pool and live WAY too far for me to help. I went over there last night and they were overwhelmed.
CYA was about 450. I talked to them about partial draining and I could tell they thought I was out of my mind. Usually I'll just say "just my recommendation, do what you want- I'll be back when it's green".
They don't want to mess with the chemicals at all though.
How do I find a pool service here that knows what they're talking about?
I'm not even sure I posted this in the right place.
If anyone on the board has a company they recommend, please private message me or email me at wedidit_2000@yahoo.com There's and underscore between wedidit_2000 but it doesn't show because of the underline.
As a side note- the previous owner said she had a wonderful pool guy. Every O ring in the pump area was shot. There was a chunk of sprinkler head stuck in the barracuda. I don't know what the sand in the filter is like- the pressure gauge was broken. When they finally replaced it, it only goes above 4 when you adjust the flow to the jets...which is a nightmare because how do you know if the pressure is from dirty sand or 'ooops, you just moved the valve to the jets' - which had happened because it's at knee level- loose and leaking.
Too much for me when I'm too far away. Gah!
