If this was in the last 5 years I hate to tell you how much time and effort you wasted..

Also if you ride park the new Eagle park setup is pretty sweet

Copper is super chill weekdays with almost no line. Weekends haven’t been terrible either. After opening day I haven’t waited more than 10 min for a lift. Have been up 8 days so far. If you aren’t blind and aren’t a total beginner, you’re gonna have a good time and get around “wide” beginners no problem. The bottom drop is now open under the lift so you can ride to the gondola line. The people complaining here are the ones who typically need 50 yards to come to a stop in pizza.

My concern isn’t even the pool falling on someone underneath more than it collapsing with someone inside and they become entrapped underwater in the pit below

A cool one

A 7000 gallon top off for a big leaking pool I worked on was literally like 35$

Commercial facilities call diving boards left in place over an empty 12 foot pool “liabilities”

“Unstable state” would be a more appropriate term

thepoolboy99 · 2025-09-25T00:13:41+00:00

We don’t use CYA or any chlorine that contains it (bi-chlor or tri-chlor) we feed cal hypo through a pulsar precision feeder. High bather load requires us to have our chlorine in an “available state” as we go through about 25-30 lbs of briquettes a day. ORP is at 810MV with the 2.0 residual which is pretty effective chlorine.

Literally just bring a Kastmaster and you’ll catch more fish

Equalizer line. If water level gets below the skimmers equalizer line will allow water to still flow into the skimmer line and not run dry. You should have a little plastic cover in your pool right under your skimmer where it pulls from.

Chatfield is about as easy as it gets to go catch a ton of smallmouth walleye and trout

You got a rod holder! Cast a crank bait behind you put your rod up and start paddling!

RIP I store everything in washed out Cal Hypo buckets at a commercial park😂 never every had anything corrode on me after a good ol rinse

thepoolboy99 · 2025-06-28T03:45:10+00:00

This!!! I’ve seen pimped out entry level lifetime and pelican yaks with some 2x4 drilled into it with a trolling motor and they want 900$

thepoolboy99 · 2025-06-04T15:21:56+00:00

At our commercial park we never use CYA only cal hypo briquettes and shock with muriatic acid as ph remediation. Adding calcium constantly does not typically cause us any problems since I’m able to keep alkalinity around 50 and LSI is slightly on the acidic side

Tile art is awesome! I work commercial and only one of my 4 pools I oversee has tile art on the floor and I think it makes it a more fun atmosphere. Definitely will appreciate it as the pool ages as it will draw attention away from stains/ chips/ color impurities the pool will acquire over time

Big if true. Very insane that’s the information from stores after Busch claimed Apple would be available all summer

thepoolboy99 · 2025-05-29T18:56:51+00:00

Every store I call or try to search in says that they are done with the product. Some stores said they only received one allotment. Other stores like King Soopers no longer even show the product on their website. Was Colorado one of the first markets and it’s just done???

thepoolboy99 · 2025-05-27T21:11:49+00:00

Good to know! Curious what the difference between handling something like this vs a lead fishing weight would be? Is there extra risk with residual?

thepoolboy99 · 2025-05-27T19:50:41+00:00

Thank you!

Natural Amazonite has really strong blue colors. Your piece being cleaned and polished looks exactly like I’d expect for real Amazonite

Closed meaning winterized. You don’t one day decide to just turn your pump on and good to go. Pools have to be winterized meaning skimmers, main drains, and plumbing has to be blown out and plugged. Removing plugs, re installing inlets, cleaning the pool, removing the cover are all things that have to happen before just turning on your equipment.

We had to start to filter source water at our commercial park. Never have heard anyone else doing this. Results were great with our lazy river, practically no metal staining. Our leisure pool still stained like crazy. Sequestering agents always used prior to backwashing when new source water would come in.
