iff you funnel the water back into the pool . like a small world pool . you
will see alot of your chimical problems go away . even better put a ring
magnet around the bottom of the funnel facing north up .

Depends on how thick the plastic is. I had the iron on high and counted to
20 slowly each time. test it out. You may need more or less time. Let it
cool some before you pull the paper off. if the paper isn’t waxed enough
(aspect of the paper), the paper will stick to the plastic and have to be
torn off. My paper roll came from Home Depot – $9
@luzi29 It’s actually more efficient throwing the bags into the water,
because out of it they lose heat to the atmosphere. Of course, it might
make swimming somewhat a challenge 🙂
By the middle of summer the water can get too hot. It’s the spring and fall
when I want to add heat. The pool has a liner. It used to be dark at the
bottom but over the years, the clorine bleached it. It’d cost thousands to
replace.
Thanks. I’m putting a lot of time into my blog lately. I hope to have a new
glow-in-the-dark vid out before too long. The strontium paint I just
received was junk. Hopefully the next manufacturer is better quality.

I don’t have a pool but as a DIYer myself I like your DIYer attitude, made
me a subscriber, look forward to more how to do it videos.
