PS - tell your trees to GET BUSY and grow some leaves!! (just kidding, we redneck Southerners just can't resist)

 

[madwil]

Pfft. Duraleigh were lucky there isn't snow up here still. But the leaves are finally on the trees this week.

This is the first anti-gravity pool I have seen. How will water stay in? )

 

[Newpool2011]

Bench and steps are finished, waiting for the liner!

 

[Newpool2011]

The Dolphin M4 is ready. We are still waiting for the liner. Hopefully this week!!

 

[Newpool2011]

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

How very exciting! I'm getting my bikini ready so I can test it out for you and make sure it's all perfect!

 

[Newpool2011]

Filled it yesterday! Three truck loads.

 

[Lershac]

oh I am so jealous! All I have is a big hole in the ground the cats play in all day!

 

[Newpool2011]

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.

 

[Newpool2011]

Concrete was poured yesterday, waiting on electrical now!

Nice pool I'm not sure I understand the overheating problem you are describing Care to elaborate?

 

[Newpool2011]

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.

 

[guamguy]

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.

Everything is up and running! Salt was added yesterday we are waiting to see if more if needed.
