Wish I could say we haven't been in your shoes before, but I cannot. This is our pool after Hurricane Harvey and my son in the kayak. The water level had already started to recede at this point. For reference, the spa is raised and sits about 12 inches higher than the pool. Stuff from the yard...

Appreciate the feedback. We would love to have been able to vacuum to waste, but it seems to be completely suspended in the water. It's like koolaid crystals after you give 'em a stir. Ha! We turned the pump off overnight one night this week and in the morning, it looked the same. Nothing had...

We experienced around 5.5 inches of rain in less than 2 hours on Monday. The oak tree behind our pool has grown and limited grass growth in that area. As a result, a large amount of dirt/mulch washed into our pool. We have been running our cartridge filter almost non-stop since Monday and have...

90 F, just where we like it!

Re: Lurker now ready to embrace BBB after our first algae bl CC was less than 0.5 and water is nice and clear. Had hundred of drone ants in there yesterday but looks like today they must be bothering someone else!

Okay, it's later! Please post some finished pics. I enjoyed looking at the build then got to the end and there are no pics with the water in it, all finished!

Wow, talk about a complete transformation of your yard! The pool, spa, decking and outdoor kitchen are absolutely beautiful! Post some pics of the rest of the landscaping as it all comes together in the next several months. It is going to be a phenomenal yard! :party: Nice to see you guys...

It seems like this is a common occurrence of "drone" ants at this time of year. We are discussing it on the Just Getting Started board. flying-ants-t61711.html

Re: Lurker now ready to embrace BBB after our first algae bl Just wanted to follow up from my initial post. Received the TF-100 kit on Saturday (three days earlier than expected, wahoo!!). It was so nice to be able to find out what our FC was since we knew it was well over 5 but felt like we...

I have heard them called "Drone" ants and today we have hundreds of them swimming in our pool. I just spent 30 minutes with the net ushering most of them into the skimmer baskets. We had 1-2 inches of rainfall early yesterday morning and for some reason, that seems to bring them around. What a...
