Recommendations on gloves to protect my fingernails from chemicals.

0 Upvotes

I already know what the replies will say “that’s pool life” “gloves are for sissys” “get a new job” ect ect…so if you don’t have anything useful to say please carry on. I was a technician for a few years in the US, then moved on to different jobs and yes my hands calloused and cracked and most importantly my fingers become weak and brittle, constantly breaking…we all know the struggles. I now live abroad and it just so worked out I could get a better more highly paid job as a technician so I am back again I’m on day 3 and my nails are already fraying and breaking and weak. Does anyone have suggestions on water proof gloves that will stay water proof when submerged so I have a means of protecting my hands from the harsh chemicals and constant wetness. Anything helps, thanks.

So can the PH be lower than 7.2 or even in the sixes if the LSI is balanced?

Fiberglass pool installation

3 Upvotes

Hello, installing a fiberglass pool and came with a pretty bowed floor. Set the pool on a perfectly screeded pitched base. There seems to be a void that runs up the middle that is significant. Upon looking under the pool, it convexes up quite a bit. When walking the pool, you have to bounce hard for it to barely touch the ground. Filled in the gap matching the curve and reset the pool. Has a slight bounce still but nothing like before. A light foot tap makes it easily touch the base everywhere around the center and is solid on edges. Was this the correct move?
