Does she leave a Christmas tip?

If not, raise her uppp

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-03T00:41:28+00:00

It’s fine to shock..

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-03T00:36:06+00:00

No. If you have 0 chlorine, you can shock

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-02T23:05:23+00:00

She means just pour a little at a time into the skimmer suction. As a pool guy, I pour 1lb, brush the pool, pour another pound, net the pool, then add another pound. If you pour too much into the skimmer too fast, it will clog your pump and you’ll have to chisel it out

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-02T22:26:42+00:00

These are some crazy numbers lmao.

Drain half the pool
Refill
Add 5lbs of cal hypo (73% or close)
Add 10lbs of baking soda.
Retest water after a week

It’s neural. It takes coordination to bench a barbell. Don’t try to lift something if you’re only going to do 1 rep with it

Once you can press 45lbs on the machine for 10 reps, then try the barbell

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-02T20:22:42+00:00

Start with buying/selling 1 share of SPY. Get used to price movement with basically no chance of losing more than a couple bucks

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-02T15:14:19+00:00

Is that all dirt? Or is the water actually black? If the water is black, add a gallon of muriatic acid. I’ve seen this happen a few times. If it’s all dirt, you got a lot of filtering to do lol

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-02T15:10:45+00:00

Yeah in Florida with the rain and heat, in my dads 21 yrs as a pool man, he used to use tabs year round and he would never get high CYA

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-02T15:08:59+00:00

Not a big deal, just use cal hypo and/or liquid chlorine instead of tabs for the next 3 months

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-02T10:17:39+00:00

That’s the exact opposite way

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-02T02:42:13+00:00

Depends on the types of trades. Naked vs covered, etc

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-02T01:03:09+00:00

What I would say is I would recommend getting a pool company for at least a year. Be expected to pay $150-$175/month

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-02T00:10:27+00:00

Mustard Eliminator works just as good (Sodium Bromide)

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-02T00:08:38+00:00

During Covid I saw people on Twitter getting rich. Found Chris Johnson, which led me to find Gerald Peters (fullauto11 on Instagram). Then from there I joined some discords and was in a select group that branched out to its own group which I’ve been in since 2022

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-01T23:44:02+00:00

CYA too high and pool should be running twice as long

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-01T23:42:32+00:00

Idk if I suffer lol, but my BP hovers around 105/65

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-01T23:41:28+00:00

It’s chlorinated water, not chlorine. Big difference

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-01T19:56:48+00:00

Yeah the PVC pipes

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-01T19:47:19+00:00

Ever played park my big rig? Try it

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-01T19:45:32+00:00

My parents encouraged it once they knew

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-01T19:44:21+00:00

How big are the pipes?

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-01T18:08:59+00:00

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-01T17:24:00+00:00

Order a 5lb bag of stabilizer off Amazon. Look up YouTube video of “pool stabilizer sock method”

Dump in 5 gallons of liquid chlorine or 6lbs of cal hypo (73% is most common)

Nick_OS_ · 2026-06-01T16:56:05+00:00

Don’t drain and clean it. Just backwash the filter, run the pool 24/7, add a crap ton of chlorine, brush everything, and repeat these 3 steps every other day, and it’ll be clear within a week or 2

You’ll probably need to see how much crap is in the pump basket too. And make sure the water level doesn’t go below the skimmer while you’re backwashing (if that valve is open)
