They did some grading yesterday and set up the equipment pad. The liner goes in as soon as it stops raining.

It has rained all week! Not much getting done except for a little electrical. I can only run the pump 3 hours at a time to avoid overheating as it's temped up on 110. The water is getting more clear each day. I'm going to try out the test kit this afternoon. I did drop the Dolphin in last night for about 3 hours.

Thanks! I was referring to the pump overheating. The electrician has it temporarily running on 110 and said it can only run for a couple of hours or it will overheat and damage the pump motor.

Is the pump a 240 volt-only motor, or is it dual-voltage? If it's a 240-only motor, then that makes sense. If it's a dual-voltage motor, then it should be fine on 120v.
