Power washed my Deck......Between that and cleaning the cartridges in the filter the only 2 jobs I don't enjoy with the pool.
What did you do to your pool today?

Got in and vacuumed! A little brisk at 71, but tolerable. The kids will be able to swim this weekend!

Rolled up the solar cover and brushed. Then put it back on as it's supposed to be rainy and cold today. Adjusted the FC and backwashed the filter before shutting it down for the evening.
Tested levels and adjusted, added another bag of salt, and my middle child took a break from playing army guy to help me spray the grackle poop off of the solar cover before we jump in...

Yeh, 45F (7C) overnight. Windy and sunny. Couldn't feel my hands when we teed off this morning (first-world problem!). I think it got up to 68F (20C). Pool is hovering around 64 (18C). Dejectedly scooped out a few lonely leaves, haha.
LOL it just gives you more time to help on the board! You can live through us like we live through you in our winter! LOL

Yes indeed! I've been imagining your amazing springtime. I remember driving from Panama City to Tallahassee many years ago. There was a loud noise every now and then, and I feared something wrong with the rental car. I pulled over the next time I heard it, got out, and it was some sort of super-loud frogs or toads in the marshes. Man, did I laugh! I'll never forget that!
Took the solar cover off, added chlorine and a little soda ash, and wished I wasn't so busy so I could swim! It's finally ready and warm enough!

We should pick a time and all cannonball in at the same time. Like a "Swim across America" type thing, lol.

Within 5 minutes of arriving home after a not so great week I was floating horizontal in 89 degree water (loving the new solar) and darn near asleep in my noodles. 30 minutes and a couple of celebratory drinks of Cuban Liberation (wink, wink) later the world was a better place. Just think; three whole days of this!
Edit: After revitalization I cleaned the filter(s). See you in September.

Installed new pool pump. Upgraded to a Hayward Maxflo VS. After electric rebate, ~$250. It is so much quieter, even at full speed. Now... what do I do with an old single speed pool pump? Has anyone had success in selling?
