re: 18k Gallon pool maintenance Q
Posted by lilsnappa on 4/6/26 at 2:35 pm to SwampCollie
I’ve outsourced my pool maintenance questions and scheduling to Claude Ai.
I have TF test kit and digital ph tester.
I gave it the prompt that it’s my pool vendor, and uses the trouble free pool approach.
Add the test result everytime I do it and it logs everything for me, tells me how to treat issues and just walked me through a full SLAM process over the last couple weeks.
I’ve had a saltwater pool for years and it actually helped me better understand the chemistry and how to use the additives appropriately.
It’s not perfect - and I did use the wrong algaecide instead of polyquat 60 at one point - but I’ve been happy with the process.

Had a project where I worked at a warehouse that supplied school supplies there. Wasn’t much there. Probably a good spot for a Buc-ee’s
The OT is not the place for measured or reasonable responses.
As of a couple years ago when I joined CCL…
$25-30k initiation fee (no longer stock purchase option- just straight fee)
Monthly dues/expense - $800-$1200/mo. This varies on how much you spend on food, retail, etc. I know it went up recently on capital dues with course Renovation coming, added pickle ball courts and a 9-hole short course. They did this instead of 1-time fundraise.
Pool is great, restaurant is always good, and there’s lots a family friendly stuff always going on.
My advice is - only join if $2k/mo has no affect on your financial situation.

I got an Aiper S1 about a year ago and been happy with it in our 18k gallon kidney shaped pool.
Battery life is about 160 minutes of run time and you can set it to run 45 minutes on the bottom every other day - so it last about a week that way before you have to pull it out and charge it (4-5 hours).
For better cleans, you just let it go until it completes the entire pool or the battery runs out.
I had a dolphin for years and find it about the same amount of work to maintain the pool.
Jury is still out on longevity of the parts and battery.

re: What walk behind mowers do you like for Zoysia?

I don’t follow…
I can buy a fiskars reel mower but at some point the manual mower becomes to hard to push through thick grass. Is there something in between that and California trimmer?
I really wish there was a <$1k option for a walk behind reel mower, gas or electric.
I guess it’s a more complex machine?
I can’t understand how the manual push mowers are so simple, yet there’s nothing with some mechanical drive for residential application.

re: Any pediatricians want to weigh in?
Posted by lilsnappa on 2/19/26 at 8:25 pm to Fournette4Heisman777
Ask current provider for a referral or someone that can give a 2nd opinion.
If they refuse or give you the cold shoulder, find a new pediatrician.

What we found through this process is that people are only moving if that HAVE to. Meaning, transferring for work or a life change (divorce).
People that want to upgrade lifestyle or need a bigger home just can't make the math work right now. They are stuck in an interest rate that is too good, and the pain of a more expensive house + higher interest rates make it not feasible for most potential buyers.

It’s been on the market since April. We delisted during the holidays to have it professionally staged.

House is finally under contract with a contingent offer. Not the preferred option, but gotta take what you can get.
Hope this is the last house I have to sell for a long long time. :banghead:

Got 1st app of Prodiamine down yesterday.
What are we using?
I plan to use Prodiamine 65 WDG.
Put down specticle Flo in October and have been hitting the yard with winter weed cocktail.

The OP was asking about saltwater pools.
I use the cheap testers from Walmart/HD/Lowes for weekly management. I have an expensive testing system that I only use when things are getting out of hand.
For a saltwater system, other than keeping the PH in check, I don’t really ever use any other chemicals.
I may run a 24 hr super chlorinate cycle every now and then. But that’s really it.
