Hi, new pool owner here again! We're doing great with our pool and water level. Had the water tested today at the shop up the street, and they said the pH was slightly low, but things really looked great! Alkalinity, Calcium, Hardness, Chlorine...all well in the range. Yay.
Okay, so there's pollen, I assume that's what it is, on the pool surface. It's tough to get rid of. We skim all the time and are taking good care of the pool, but every day, the pollen floating just looks nasty to me. First timer here, so I never really noticed before, is it just this TIME of the year? Does the pollen flying through the air settle down once we get into the hot part of the summer. Oh, sorry..I'm in Southern New Jersey, near Philadelphia. Seems that everyone's sneezing and such, but I can't remember if this is just peak pollen time or if this is what we'll get all summer. Hope not. I know it's fine to swim, and we can skim as much as possible, but it's just bugging me. Our porch is covered too, even though we just hosed it down last weekend. Grrrr!
Any thoughts? I'll go check out weather.com and see what I can find as well. Thanks, Nancy :-)
