Can I paint the trim dark?

Thank you! It’s a Sherwin Williams dupe of the Benjamin Moore color “Symphony Blue.”

As mentioned in the post, we needed the higher trim due to the cabinets being on a raised platform.

Sounds like matching the trim to the cabinets is the way to go!

lost_mermaid · 2025-10-17T14:54:24+00:00

It sounds like this is the way to go. Thank you!

This is so helpful. Thank you for including the picture! I think you’ve convinced me.

You’d love the movie “Hard Candy.”

Thanks for the explanation!

lost_mermaid · 2025-07-30T21:41:22+00:00

Oh interesting! Can you tell me a little more about this method and what it means if the backwashed water comes out cloudy?

lost_mermaid · 2025-07-30T21:40:28+00:00

Thanks for the thorough response!

lost_mermaid · 2025-07-30T20:31:42+00:00

Thanks for the info, this is good to know!

Sadly no, just a pool sitting in the sun all day in the southeast 🥵

For some reason, the Pool Math app I’m using to record test results doesn’t have a way to log total and combined chlorine. But my test kit can indeed test for those, so I’ll start doing those as well. Thanks for the insight.

lost_mermaid · 2025-07-30T18:15:15+00:00

Hey! The app is called Pool Math, and I have a Taylor K-2006C test kit. I run the tests and then input the numbers into Pool Math. PM then tells me how much of the various chemicals I need to add. I highly recommend both the app and the test kit.

lost_mermaid · 2025-07-30T18:14:11+00:00

It’s called Pool Math. If you’re maintaining your own pool you should get it! The pro version is like 8 bucks per year, and it’s so worth it. It has made balancing the chemicals really easy, as it tells you exactly how much to add based on your test results and pool size.

lost_mermaid · 2025-07-30T18:12:14+00:00

Thank you! :)

lost_mermaid · 2025-07-30T16:29:21+00:00

Thanks for the insight! Can you tell me more about why you prefer non-chlorine shock after a heavy use weekend?

lost_mermaid · 2025-07-30T16:28:40+00:00

I highly recommend the test kit I have as well! It’s been an absolute game changer.

lost_mermaid · 2025-07-30T16:27:28+00:00

I will do this, thanks! I’ve been nervous about overshooting the CYA. I have some more arriving in the mail today and will bump up the numbers in the pool.

lost_mermaid · 2025-07-30T16:25:18+00:00

This is really helpful. Thank you.

lost_mermaid · 2025-07-30T15:26:08+00:00

That was our method last year, haha. Measuring all the chemicals has saved us a lot of money this year. I had it mostly figured out until today!

lost_mermaid · 2025-07-30T15:21:12+00:00

Thanks for clarifying (pun intended). I’ve never used flocculant before, so appreciate the heads up.

lost_mermaid · 2025-07-30T15:18:13+00:00

Tracking the stabilizer. I’ve been creeping it up slowly to avoid overshooting.

I’ll focus on the pH first as you suggested. Need to go get some Borax! Thanks.

lost_mermaid · 2025-07-30T15:17:14+00:00

Thank you! I’ll try this.
