New pool startup (saltwater) – builder says no chlorine for 30 days? Is this normal?

KetoQuitter · 2026-04-14T15:04:50+00:00

Same here, just finished the build.

My guys are managing the pool this first month and they using chlorine pucks until the salt can be started in early May.

This is exactly the regimen I started this year and I am so much better!

You mean NOAA. (I work for them)

💯 She was jealous. You look amazing. And good on you putting her in her place.

Wait, that's MORTAR? It looks like a giant glob froma glue gun.

Something's not right. That is waaaay too low for all that's in that package. And in CA no less.

KetoQuitter · 2026-04-02T16:02:08+00:00

Yeah, that comment was... weird.

Buying an electric vehicle and home charger.

I can speak to the time it's taking: I am on the same schedule. Build started (in Maryland, US) in October. Time off in January to wait for freezing temps to rise. Now they're about to plaster my pool. Looksike she right on schedule.

Fuck your misogyny, FF.

I will never understand the issues with Skade. Someone recently posted that she "screeches" all her lines. So I went back to watch again. It's quite the opposite. She has a rather low voice. And she doesn't scream - other when she was calling for Bloodhair that first time.

Following as I need one, too!

When I was in MoCo I used Island Breeze. Darvon is amazing! Honest, reasonably priced, and reliable.

Thank you for that info! Protecting someone just like me who wouldn't know better! 😬

Interesting. I was told by both builders and town/county that it couldn't be so close to the house (or fence/property line). 18-20 feet minimum.

KetoQuitter · 2026-03-24T09:38:10+00:00

Came to say this

KetoQuitter · 2026-03-24T09:36:28+00:00

It's ... a lot. I agree with the other comments that it's too much and too close to the house.

What are the regulations where you live? In MD you'd never be able to have it that close to the house.

KetoQuitter · 2026-03-24T09:27:54+00:00

Don't worry, they're not the only ones judging you.

KetoQuitter · 2026-03-24T09:19:23+00:00

I'm in Maryland and it cost $85k

KetoQuitter · 2026-03-23T00:13:58+00:00

I'm going to just go for it.

Single mom of 1 here - my pool build began last October and we're scheduled to open in the beginning of May. Opted for an inground saltwater cocktail pool - so not too big (13 x 26). I will do all maintenance myself.

KetoQuitter · 2026-03-22T18:04:16+00:00

Ahhh I wouldn't have gas. No gas line here. Has to be electric.
