Chuck Gould wrote: A few years ago, our local marina owners' association hired an advisor to speak at one of their meetings. His message: "Raise your moorage rates constantly. Do not try to keep your rates down to where your slips are always filled. Shoot for about a 20% vacancy rate. When you are 20% vacant because of higher rates, your overall revenue will be more than it was with all of the slips filled at a lower rate and your expenses will be less because you are providing services to fewer boats." I think we have 2-3% vacant slots. Would be nice to have all slots full - that way the club could have more money wise and we wouldn't need to pay up for the non-existent/non-boat-owning members either. Risto |

You'd have to discharge daily and constantly into a large waterway to reproduce those numbers. |

On many lakes and coves, it is fairly common for geese and other wildlife to cause extremely high bacteria count that result in beaches being closed for extended periods. The truth of the matter, lakes, oceans, bays and pools can all have problems with fecal matter. It is fairly easy to correct a pool problem by shocking the pool with chlorine. It is not quiet as easy in a open water. |

The truth of the matter, lakes, oceans, bays and pools can all have problems with fecal matter. It is fairly easy to correct a pool problem by shocking the pool with chlorine. It is not quiet as easy in a open water. It is, and it isn't. If shocking isn't done correctly, and shock levels kept at the correct levels for the correct amount of time, then it doesn't do much good. Also, you don't shock a pool to get rid of fecal matter, urine and such, the level of constant chlorine sanitation should do that. Shocking is used to get rid of the chloramines, which are a biproduct of the chlorine doing it's job. Also, the level at which to get the pool chlorine up to to shock is not a constant, and even most pool people don't know this. Most people think that they need to maintain X amount of chlorine regardless. BUT, the parts per million of constant chlorine as well as the shock levels are dependent on the amount of stabilizer in the form of cyanuric acid available. Take for instance if your stabilizer is 10 to 20 parts per million, you need a constant chlorine level of 2 to 5 ppm, and 5 to 12 ppm to shock. If your stabilizer is at 60 to 90 ppm, then you need 5 to 10 ppm chlorine and 20 or more to shock. Now here is the clincher. People who use chlorine pucks are putting more and more CYA into the pool, thereby needing more and more chlorine that they don't know about. That's why I use plain bleach, as instructed by a person that knows more about pool chemistry than anybody I've ever seen. |

Imaging that. And I see that Reggie joined in with his attempt to hijack the thread with a silly side topic. I guess this thread shows the real purpose of our non boat owners here. And to think they their stated goal was to better the tone of the NG. My, my, my. Herring and Reggie only come here to be the a**holes their wives won't let them be at home. Remember: neither of them have a boat. Herring gave his away, and Reggie never had one. And you have more than just a Parker? -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

I use enough tri-chlor to maintain a reasonable stabylizer level (that 10-20 you spealk of) and bleach to maintain the chlorine level. I end up with a shot of acid now and then to hold the pH. That keeps my pool sparkling. I hear tell of people having to use acid to hold pH. Here in GA, my water is just the opposite, you need to raise pH. Instead of using pH Up, use 20 mule team borax, right out of the grocery store for about 10% of the price!. Raise alkalinity with baking soda, the same exact thing the pool store sells you for three times as much. I use plain old bleach to both keep my chlorine level up to the range specified by the amount of stabilizer, and to shock. Here is a website that has that information, you'll like it, this guy is a pool brain! http://www.poolsolutions.com and here is a forum of people who use his methods: http://www.poolforum.com If you go in the forums, someone has even written a small program called bleach calc, you just plug in the capacity of your pool in gallons, if you are using 5% or 6% (ultra) bleach, and it will tell you the amount of bleach to add to get to x ppm. It also has calcs for adjusting pH, Alk, and stabilizer. I only use pucks if I go on vacation or something, so I have to add stabilizer once in awhile. This guy also debunks a lot of pool store myths. I laugh at the beginning of the season when I go to the pool store to watch those guys load everybody up with a couple hundred bucks worth of pretty much worthless crap, and I get to smallest package of pucks I can get! Anyway, check these guys out! Swimming pool chlorine and household bleach are both Sodium Hypochlorite. Just calculate which is cheaper to buy. The pool chlorine is 2-3 times the strength of normal bleach. And Ultra Clorox is about 1/3 stronger than standard bleach. |

The pool chlorine is 2-3 times the strength of normal bleach. And Ultra Clorox is about 1/3 stronger than standard bleach. The last time I looked at the packaged pool chlorine it worked out to the same price as no name laundry bleach but we can buy pool chlorine from the pool store in bulk for less than half of what the packaged product costs. There is also the problem that all of this tends to deteriorate over time so that 10% chlorine in the Jug at Home Depot may only be 8 or 9% if it has a lot of dust on the bottle. My pool store turns over several hundred gallons a week so it is always fresh.. I get my liquid at the pool store. Since this is California the bleach costs extra cause it is a chemical. Normal clorination is via tablets. Every couple of years I dump part of the pool and add fresh water to lower the stabilizer levels. Works for me. And with the solar heater, I do run a comfortable pool in the summer time. |
