I would like to know more about salt water systems. I converted our pool this year to salt water and was swarmed by honey bees. Had constant problems with maintaining the correct chlorine level. I ended up going back to go old chlorine and haven’t had any problems since.

So many public pools are REQUIRED to have “rest breaks.” These are EXCELLENT opportunities to take your young ones to the restroom even if they “don’t have to go!”

Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people consider worries that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

I have a above ground pool that I just had to refill from my well water. Being in Florida my well water is iron “heavy”. Of course the result is iron stain in my pool. I have a sand filter.

Any suggestions on how to efficiently remove most of the iron & stain

I was always lead to believe that if a pool smelled of chlorine that there was a lack of acid or that the Ph balance of the water was out. Most of our dealings are with homeowners who don’t manage the chemistry of their swimming pool until there’s a problem. This is a great site and I’ll add it to a future blog post. Thanks!
