We get a lot of spiders too, but not those dangerous looking ones lol . We get the big brown “harmless” ones, at least that’s what the hub tells me 
Still scary !
Still scary !
This morning. Weather is horrible! Snowed all day while we cleaned it up and started to balance
Fc 3, cc 0, ph off the chart! 80 oz to get it back to 7.6. Ta 70, ch 175, salt 1800, cya 0. I took water out like 12 times this winter. Then this week 9 inches of water added due to rain. Horrible.
6 hrs of the robot to get all the worms and dirt up and I still need to run it more tomorrow hot water is clear. Not even cloudy.
Water 46.

I stopped adding poly when I close. With closing really late when water is in low 50’s and opening with water still in 40’s never should be an issue. Just close it at slam level and u should be good.
Definitely gonna need a good vac run. That'll have to wait because my vac head is too tight in the new pro tuff pole so I have to request an adapter.
PLENTY blue tho.

Here’s the sneak peek 
The sun & shadows were playing tricks with my camera but I could still clearly see where I wrote my M in the pool with vit C. Looks like a W from this side.
Just dipped a quick sample off the top - no mixing has occurred yet.
May throw the bot in for a little while to mix things up until I get running.

We open with more FC than some folks use mid season. 
Not bad for opening in the South! I’m sure your water temperatures are much higher than they are here.
Meanie!
Just open it, girl! I’m getting impatient here! lol!Here’s the sneak peek

Not bad at all!! I am just now seeing these replies. You probably got it crystal clear by now!

62 degrees this morning.
We had our probably last cold spell night before last so my winter break is over lol
I don’t go “topless” for a while - too many squiggly thingys falling from the sky. I soft open.
sigh*
The grand opening is canceled. Going scorched Earth on the acre instead.
It has to be done.

You have a beautiful pool! My water was a little over 55 degrees F when I opened. I’m curious….since your water temp is so low, did you just let your water sample warm up inside before testing CYA? I wanted to test mine again yesterday but the water was only 53 so I let the sample sit overnight. Wondering if it’s still good for testing?
I should know this by now lolThe CYA will be the same but the PH and FC may be different.so I let the sample sit overnight. Wondering if it’s still good for testing?
My FC was 9ppm when I opened (I let the pump run a few hours before testing). I closed SLIGHTLY above SLAM level and used a solid cover, but was still surprised my FC was so high upon opening lol. I could never go the Polyquat closing route. The low FC would drive my OCD crazy!
Oops!! Ignore my GIF comment I made before I saw these photos! For some reason, I didn’t see this reply.
Pool looks amazing! Showoff!!
