Learning On The Fly

Funny, I forgot to ask about the pros/cons of aerating, but it was answered in the alkalinity link you added.

odd

I "knew" that you wanted to know that cuz I'm a mind reader!

Ahhhh, you are wise, Watermom!

On another note - You know how you can go to the same store for ages, it seems, every day seeing the same things and people there? Then one day you walk in and see someone you haven't seen in like forever? Well, that very thing just happened to me. I walked out into our backyard, looked into our pool, and There Was The Bottom! Even all the way across to the other side! I could even see the fake water pattern on the bottom! Thank you all for the wealth of information posted here, and for a certain person's one-on-one help. I'm not naming names, but her initials are Watermom. I'd wager that in a few more days all will be well in PoolVille. Now to worry about the bowed-out-sides problem.....

Glad you found the bottom again! I was happy to help. But, bowed-out-sides are not my department, so I'll have to let somebody else help you with part. Enjoy your pool and again, really glad to have you on the forum. Your posts are always fun to read. Hope you'll stick around here with us.
