Last weekend I was out by the pool and it was a beautiful sunny day, but the signs for the end of summer were there. Then a perfect V of about 100 Canada geese flew very, very low overhead and I got all melancholy about the end of the season. I like having 4 seasons but hot weather time is just so short here. Sigh.

Thanks once again for everyone in the forum. Another summer of excellent water, stress free. New liner installed, poured new cement ladder pads; rejuvenated the cedar pool shed/change room; next summer I'm thinking about trying the salt and borate thing.

Found 40% poly algecide here so thanks for the closing instructions Carl, I'll take care of the chems that way.
