I've read the ABCs. Water quality looks good. I guess right now my problem is figuring out how to calculate how much bleach to add and determining if my CYA in the ball park.

Hey y'all, I tested my pool for the first time this morning. Here are the facts I think you might need. Size: 18,000-18,500 gallons is my best guess Gunite, in ground with hot tub (my pool build...

Thanks Nursenini! We are really enjoying it even though we don't have the kitchen/patio finished. The water is a bit cold but I can't heat it until 23 days after plaster according to the PB. Eek! Not sure we can wait that long. I will post more pictures soon when the patio and everything gets...

First swim ever in our pool yesterday! [emoji41]

Don't worry, Marla. I'll only read it when I'm not flying. [emoji41]

Thanks Kim! You're a rock star! Hey since you're in the informational sharing mood [emoji14] what is the best iPhone app for keeping track of your pool chemistry?

Looks beautiful! Do have any "before" pics to show the transformation?

He added a bunch of acid yesterday and it drove the pH down to 7.0. I'm not adding anything until I have been totally cleared by him. I have TF-100 with Speed Stir so that I can become a mad scientist. But it's my first pool so there is a learning curve. Has anyone ever compiled all of the Pool...

Thanks y'all! I hope the water gets more blue, seems like there was a little green yesterday.

Forgot to add the passenger was ok. Paramedics took care of him at the gate. Doctor onboard helped the flight attendants. Just another day at the office. [emoji41]

So after a passenger with a heart attack caused me to do an emergency divert, I am now getting home later this evening (passenger ended up doing fine). But my daughter was nice enough to text me the first pics of the deck and the pool filled.

I'm in Kansas City and about to head to Denver. I'll fly over and check it out on my way back into Hobby at dinner time. [emoji41]
