Help! I need a pool moved and installed!

I get my chemicals from Lowe's and I know for a fact that they do NOT keep their chemicals from years past. Everything comes in new each year. All the chemicals sell fast so nothing is left over from the year before.

 

Kaci, where did you work? Just curious as my daughter has worked for a couple of places. She left one (not Capitol Pools or ClearWater) because they wanted her to lie about the water test results and tell people they needed chemicals that they didn't. Where she is now she only sells customers what they need. We have had a pool for 8 years (purchased at Rec Warehouse) and have never had a problem with it. We have purchased our chemicals at a number of places. I think the key is to maintain it correctly and not let it get out of hand. There are many chemical systems available and any will work with the correct follow up by the pool owners. Our neighbors have a pool and tend to get slack on testing the water and adding chemicals..then expect the pool store to fix everything over and over again!

 

pm'd ya

 

ok, here are the two sites that i use:

www.intheswim.com
www.waterwarehouse.com

if you go to those websites and sign up with your email, they will send you lots of coupons for $$$$ off and free shipping:hurray:

i have been using them both for the last few years and have never had a problem with them and do not get any spam mail as a result of giving my email. i usually go to both sites and compare prices on what i need, they run different sales all through the year.

 

Thanks!

Thanks Kaci and to everyone for their help and suggestions. I wish I was getting this sucker up and running sooner rather than later as hot as it's supposed to get but I'm hoping it will be in the next few weeks!!

 

Anyone have a pool they want to sell??

 

Actually i had been considering selling mine to get a larger one before the deck is put in, you know someone interested?

 

a-ahem.

 

Thanks for the websites Kaci. Going to look into for sale prices. Do you order what you need seasonally?

Ro

 

Yeah i usually do but sometimes if something comes up i may place another order or two. The prices are so good for large quantities so i do that. But i will tell you the large containers of chlorine and 3"tablets last longer than one season, i still have some chlorine left from last year and i probably won't have to order anymore of the tablets until next year and i keep my pool open year round.

 

Here's something to keep in mind.

GOOSE CREEK, S.C. — A 10-year-old South Carolina boy died last weekend several hours after he swallowed water in a swimming pool.
Goose Creek police say Johnny Jackson swallowed some water while swimming in a pool at his apartment complex around noon Sunday.
Police say he later complained he was tired and took a nap. When someone checked on him, water was coming out of his nose and he was having trouble breathing.
The boy later died at Trident Hospital.
Berkeley County Coroner Glenn Rhoad told the Charlestown Post and Courier of Charleston the boy's lungs were filled with water and he died of asphyxiation.
Rhoad said there was nothing suspicious about the death.
The boy, a fourth-grader called "Jon-Jon" by his family, essentially drown, medical experts told the Post and Courier.
Not all drowning deaths happen immediately. Other phenomena, such as secondary drowning, can occur as much as 72 hours later and without any warning signs, the newspaper reported

 

Hey Kaci....is it safe for the pump to be on a timer, turning on and off or do you let yours run 24 hours a day? Just wondering about this because mine was on a timer, last year and this year, but today the centrifugal switch was bound up therefore flipping my breaker....my hubby fixed it and said maybe we should run it all day...my water is crystal clear with it running as little as possible...
Thanks GIRL!!!

 

No problem, i have always run mine on a timer, running it 24/7 is not only unnecessary it cuts the lifetime of your pump way down. i actually only run my during the heat of the day for about 4 hours and then turn on manually if i have folks in and need to chemical or clean, etc. During the time right now, i don't even run it during the day, want that sun to heat the water, i run it in the evening from about 7-11pm. When it starts staying hot like it is now, i will switch it to daytime.
