Yes its her pool. She wants help taking care of it but still wants to do a bunch herself. She works more hours than me sometimes 5 days a week. She tries to go off the top of her head what the FIL used to do and thats what doesn't help. He actually practiced the BBB method somewhat. When the pool cloudyness does finally clear up thats when she'll give in and at least give me some leway with chemicals. btw pool cloudyness hasn't changed. would it help if I were to raise the PH? It's currently holding @ 7.2. will check the #'s early in the AM
