I've used it before and it helped a lot. Some is specific for different types of algae.

Thanks for the advice, I did get a 50 CYA reading from the local PS, so I'm right on target with where I thought I was. I've been keeping the pools FC from 4-8 and it seems to keep algae at bay. I did have some nasty orange/yellow algae in one small spot that wouldn't go away. I finally put a puck on it and after a day it was gone, and my copper stained plaster had a while spot.

Wondering about some possible lightly-black algae that's been there (not getting worse) since last season. I haven't done a shock yet because I don't know what's the minimum acceptable level the kids could swim in. Also, my FC CC readings are always, the same, they both rise and fall the same, does this mean the pool has good balance? based on what I've read, 16 is the shock level for my pool, any ideas when it's safe to get back in the water after a shock?

Hi JTH,

Nnuutt is right about being able to buy algaecide specific to the different kinds of algae that one gets in there pool from time to time. Most alga e's that we get are airborne. They are brought or dropped into our pools by passing birds. Another way that we get algae in our pools is still airborne but brought by High Winds. It only takes the smallest bit of algae and before you know it, It spreads like Wildfire. I would either take a picture of the particular algae from your cell phone or describe it the best you can to your nearest pool/service dealer/store.

Also JTH, I try to keep my FC and TC between 3 and 5 all the time. I know this is a little on the High Side but it keeps the Algaecide at bay on my pool. Also the kids and Adults can swim safely in the at these levels.


Hi Grandma,

Yes the Sarah Groves song is a very inspirational song in many different way's. I find that I listen to her quite ab it. Her music is soothing and uplifting especially if in a depressed state of mind which I find myself in from time to time. You are very Welcome and Thanks for the Vote.

Hessian,

Thanks for the Vote on the Sarah Groves song. Also Thank You for posting the Oakwise video. I will include the video with the ones I'm posting now.


RMI,

Thanks my friend for the Vote of Confidence on my part. Yes I do try to provide videos that are Educational and Time Event Driven. I hope any of us gain knowledge and Wisdom to do well and Increase there Nest Eggs or Net Worth.


To Tom (Administrator) if you look at this. I just had to cut 2 videos out of this post because I got an error that you are only allowed 8 Images and/or Videos in 1 Post. I think this should be bumped to 12 to 15.

Well Guy's & Gals,

I thought I would throw in my two cents.
If we close lower today then it will be a confirmation that the market's are going lower. Now we may get a bounce tomorrow and the next day after but that imo will be it and the markets will resume there downward trend. Its a tough call right now with the Dow down currently -18.

If I knew the market's would end positive today I would move all in but it is to risky to do imo. Also like I said before if we close negative today look for a bounce tomorrow but it will be a small bounce (probably 10 S&P points) which I'm not going to use up an IFT for that.

If we do close negative today and we get the bounce tomorrow expect us to go quite abit lower. I'm talking S&P 1255.

Watch the $Index. This is a very telling index right now.
Dollar Up = Market's Down
Dollar Down = Market's Up

These are just my thoughts and opinions.
All in All I Don't think it's time to be in Equities.

:cool:

Right now it look's like the Dow is trying to put a Full Court Press on the $Index but the $Index is just saying the Hell with you Dow and pushing Higher.

If the $Index remains as strong as it is right now the Dow will Cave In.

OK, Now it is 11:45am est. and this is where I think somtimes the stock market likes to make the goverment funds (i.e. TSP Folks) think there is going to be a turn around for the day (i.e. Market's go from negative to positive). They are trying to suck in as many people as possible before the 12:00 noon cutoff time.

Somtimes the markets do go from negative to positive for the day but my gut is telling me this is going to be a fake-out and after the 12:00 noon cut-off the Market's will head South.

All In my Oppionion! :suspicious:

Heres your Dollar index chart. Click on the one month chart. It has room to move down.



This is true. I am actually looking at the one month chart. I am also correlating the $Index with what InTheMoneyStocks is showing and saying.

S & P 1255

with maybe a bounce or two.
