    The pollen has been very heavy this year, like last year. I find the BEST thing for pollen is a skimmer sock and cleaning it out twice daily. Sometimes it looks like yellow spackling paste!

    BTW, That's why I like Evan. He's a pool store guy who doesn't lie to us or give us the usual BS (Barnyard Slush ) about "TDS" and, now "Phosphates". I had one guy go on and on about how bleach is bad for TDS. I nodded, figuring, "Why prick this guy's bubble?" knowing FULL well the "TDS" bleach adds is....salt. If you use bleach for 5 years your salt level STILL won't be as high as you'd need it for an SWG.

    (Bleach is made from saltwater--NaCl and H2O--and is dissolved in it--that's what the other 94% is of the 6% ultra Bleach)
