the stadium turf.

Fair enough. I'm still young. When my kid gets old enough to do it, I'll make him do it.

 

You guys are making me think of how unbelievable the Olympics pool problems are too. Apparently hydrogen peroxide was added to clean the pool, which neutralized the chlorine.

 

Clemson has no problem growing strong roots in Tennessee.

 

we're done here

 

I can always count on you for an enjoyable reference.

 

Easy to say as a Californian who just waters his lawn whenever he wants.

 

Pond will be good for you.

 

Exactly, Automatic chlorinator is the way to go. I spend maybe 5 minutes a week, not counting the occasional vacuuming.

 

What's this opening and closing thing?

 

Some of us have seasons.

 

Salt pool imo.

 

Mow in the evening, wear a headlamp... Problem solved

 

This is what everyone is using down here. It's supposed to be better for your skin and all of the pool equipment. It's a little expensive to start and I hear the cells go bad about every 5-7 years.

 

It's worth it. Little to no maintenance.

 

If you do it, go Hayward. But say around $1300/1400 over 7 years. Basically $200 a year.

You probably spend more than that on chlorine tabs/granules. And when you change out cells, it's $4/500, not the full cost.

 

I will check it out. This is the time of the year when I start saying I'm going to do it. When I'm dumping a couple of jugs of chlorine a week, plus about 6 tablets from all of the rain.

 

Yes to all of this.

 

I don't see you needing to get someone in to heat it up for you, or do the plumbing, unless you just don't want to, so your up front could be a lot less.

But if you do, it needs to be the last thing on the line before the return. So if you have heater or Polaris booster pump or anything, chlorinator needs to be last.

Where's everyone seeing this about the field? I believe y'all, all I can find though are propaganda updates from Brent and Co. Saying how wonderful our new field is
