Getting your pool ready?


Ahhhh… That moment when you realize it’s finally time to actually open up the pool so you can enjoy the refreshing water all summer long.  But wait, there’s a lot of work into opening the pool including all the cleaning and chemical testing. 

A few years ago we switched to a Salt Generated Chlorine Pool and I love it!  It was the best choice we had ever made. I ordered the Hayward Aqua-Rite Chlorine Generator from InTheSwim.com and have been a lifetime customer ever since.  The generator automatically senses the pools chemical components to let you know what you need to add and with a touch of a button you can increase the chlorine flow.  That feature is great for the days we have 15 or 20 people swimming.  My favorite and most used feature though is it tells me exactly what the temperature of the water is before I jump in! What we spent on the Hayward Aqua-Rite Chlorine Generator was about half of what we were spending in chemicals for the summer, so this for us was a very amazing purchase!

Another order from Intheswim.com this year is the very new SaltDip Digital Pool Chemistry Tester.  This little gadget is so easy to use and it even comes with the batteries.  The large LCD Screen and the two simple buttons make it really easy to use.  The tester measures not only the salt content but the total dissolved solids and the water temperature in one easy spot.  There is never any calibration needed so even I can use it.  I love this thing especially compared to the old colored dip sticks that you really had to guess and compare because this is easy as the numbers are very simply displayed.   Another great feature and one I have been taking advantage of is the memory function because it stores the previous measurement.  This made it really easy to tell if we were making progress or not.

So... to all my friends and family, the pool is almost ready.  According the the SaltDip we needed to add two more bags of salt this year and we did that last night.  Everything should be ready to go in a few days, so come swim!
InTheSwim.com is my place to go for all of my pool needs!  A few friends and I even order our toys from them and they always seem to last a long longer plus the prices are amazing!  Be sure to check them out at the following links;

    1. I heard from a friend who heard from a friend... It was really the best decision we ever made. So far this year we have spent about $25 and I don't expect to spend much more. It's awsome!!!

  3. Is Salt really that much cheaper? The generators look kinda high, but I guess we do spend at least that each summer anyways... I have to talk to hubby about this, we really need to do something!

  16. This is important for the effective removal of organic waste through the filter. pondmaster aquarium In the past few years, swimming pool pumps and motors have been part of a huge electricity-saving improvement effort.
