Digger's Pool

[Digger]

Janet thanks for the good explanation!! I am one of those people who HAVE to understand, not do thinks just because that is the way it has always been done, etc. I know people like me can be a pain in the bum! Plus cause myself more anxieties, but that's me!

Just wondering with my FC higher is it safe to swim? I am guessing so? Now I have to add water and we have hard water from limestone in area, hope it doesn't mess it up too bad?

With a chlorine of 11, I would be okay swimming in it, although I would wear an old suit in case of fading, and would encourage using swim masks instead of swimming underwater with open eyes. Once the sun is on the pool for another couple of hours, especially with people in it, it won't be at 11 for very long.

In order for you to be fully in control of your pool, you have to understand WHY you're adding something, and you can only do that if you understand what it's going to do once it gets in the water. This is why we're here--to help people understand what they're doing when they add things to their pool water so that they're adding the right stuff--not just anything the pool store told them to add. (hence the term Pool-stored! )

It is a lot of information, and it seems very overwhelming at first, but you'll find that if you stick with it and keep trying to absorb the information and make sense of it, one day you'll wake up and have that "AHA!!!!" moment that we've all had before, when the light bulb goes on and you understand it all!!

I've been waiting for years and that STILL hasn't happened to me!

Digger, that is ME, too! I want to know why not just how! And, that is also the lesson I stress to my 140 students. Ask and understand why something works and don't just take my word or anybody else's word. OK. I'll take my teacher hat off now. (That is sometimes hard to do; being a teacher pervades all areas of my life.)

Well, I added water and laid down to read a little while my husband was sleeping ( new job, crazy hours for him, adjustment for us both), and YEP! I fell asleep! Water is up with only about 1 inch in to skimmer. It should be okay, right? I am having kids come tom. they drag water out, crazily!!

I don't understand the question?
