2021 - I took my cover off to a crystal clear pool in June.

2022 - my cover fell off in a crystal clear pool at the beginning of March. Oh boy.

Life gets in the way and my pool has set without chemicals for months. Went from clear to a little tint of green then to swamp within a few days of noticing the tint of green.

Life has been busy so finally got it opened today and wanted to share a few pics..

Friday night I dumped in 2 gallons of 10% and brushed it real well. Woke up Saturday to a few blue areas.. brushed again and a few hours later we have a blue cloudy pool.

Worked Saturday and Sunday re-plumbing and re-electricing the pool and equipment. Added a heater and moved the pad all around. Last step is running the gas out to the heater. Anyway wanted to share some pics. Wish me luck on my SLAM - I will post some pics.

First pic is pre treatment. Second pic is adjusting chemicals after getting pump running. Third is everything plumbed in - May not be the prettiest but no leaks!

Only lost .5 to 1 ppm chlorine overnight. Water really cloudy and keep pulling robot up with a few leaves and water is not flowing through the robot filter well so it is like gunk on the bottom.

Added some chlorine to get up to 12 PPM and the rain has moved in. Will check again in a bit.
