Needles & Grooves

#humblebrag. Look at Mr. Fancy with a pool.

We've got one. I'd recommending hiring a guy for the first 6 months and just kinda watch what they do and ask a buncha questions to learn about your equipment. Then take over and see how it goes from there. Big box stores will try to convince you that you need all sorts of chemicals that don't do anything but complicate the process.

In short: Chlorinate weekly, test the water using strips, research online the strip results, repeat.

Chlorine is pricey, so watch for deals (just like vinyl). This is what I use: Amazon product ASIN B0178AX4E8

Avoid anything that says calcium hypochlorite as it can damage the pool and leave unsightly stains behind (per my pool guy), like this Amazon product ASIN B00BGNLUV8

So in other words, pool party at @Memo's.

clean your pool filter monthly

If you can find two spickets, using two water hoses will fill your pool twice as fast.

In other words fill half your pool from your neighbor's spigot.

You nee to be near religious in your devotion to your maintenance. It gets out of hand fast, and doesn’t get back into shape very quickly.

Just like the human body
