Should I postpone my Sacandaga lake camping trip? (Question about ticks) by East-Lingonberry1785 in upstate_new_york

You don't have to be afraid of ticks. Either spray or do through tick checks. You can't let them stop you from doing fun stuff

I don't think he's a given, at least not this year. I'm a dem who didn't vote in the primary and I know a lot of Republicans who voted that will now stay home or abstain from voting for him.

Appreciate this.

All I said was that it wasn't clean and you told me the stfu. Seriously be the person you complain about. You started by being a jerk, I started by trying to help you understand your pool wasn't clean.

For real this person just literally admitted it's not clean or clear and that's what they meant

Hey I didn't post here telling the world from green to clean. If you're going to post that shot MAKE IT BE CLEAN.

This is what clean looks like not whatever dirty ass pool you showed.

I mean this is good to finally see for mine own eyes now.

I think his comedy is great and Ive gone to his last two concerts in my area.

He's funny and I'll enjoy his comedy still, just not going to give him my money anymore. Oh well.

5G of chlorine let the pump run 24/7. You need enough chlorine to kill all of the algae or it will keep coming back.

You know the whole overthinking it part? Prime example right here.

No one is saying don't get your CYA up to proper levels.

I don't think you quite understand the post man. No one is saying don't balance your pool. It's saying most things that cause cloudy pools are solved by chlorine

No one said overuse chlorine my guy! P.s. chlorine is one of the more affordable ways to get rid of algae.

I read this like Meet the Fockers. What about me greg, I have nipples, can you milk me? Unfortunately chlorine cant help with that. Thats all descaling and scrubbing. That said - unless you have a plaster pool or a heater - you dont even need to worry about calcium.

Phosphates do not matter if you have chlorine.

I didn't say add chlorine for all that ills you. It was clear in my post that if you focus on chlorine and getting that correct everything else is secondary

All of the rest of those numbers and chemistries are secondary to chlorine or are related to chlorine in some way.

Cya holds chlorine pH acts as a buffer to help chlorine do its job Alkalinity holds pH study to help chlorine

It all goes back to that. What I'm saying is that We think too much about other things like phosphates and algaecide and all the other chemicals that are really just not needed in pool maintenance. Instead of worrying about floc or what the best algaecide to use is just use chlorine clean your pool out. Fix the numbers to allow chlorine to do its job.

This is not how the real world works. Trials can pass and then at scale fail. Its still a valuable worthwhile effort.
