Pool Party with a TFP

[bdavis466]

We threw a pool party yesterday and had about 60 people in the pool. By the day's end the water was so murky that you couldn't see the drain covers through 6' of water. Now 24 hours later the water looks as good as it did before the party.

I took the FC to 12 (my CYA is 90) and and lowered the pH to 7.4. I ran the filter continuously through the event and through the night. This morning the pool was still a little cloudy but that quickly cleared up.

All these people in the pool and and over 300 beers disappeared... I'm sure everyone was making their own chemical additions to the pool







Here's the pool less than a day later

Gross. And I'm assuming my invite is in the mailbox I never check [emoji848][emoji4]

 

[JoyfulNoise]

Nice!!!

Yeah, bunch of fireman in the pool....I'm sure their "hoses" were full open [emoji482][emoji481][emoji97]? You should do like the recent WSJ article suggested and have the pool water tested for the presence of artificial sweeteners as those are passed completely through the kidneys. Then you'd have PROOF!!!

So I have to ask, what was playing on the big screen? And was that a projector on a white sheet or just a massive flatscreen TV you picked up at Costco??

As Joanie said, I'm sure my invitation just got lost in the mail....

I'm going to guess that was 'Moana'? (My daughter loves that movie)

I'd have been playing "Shark Week" if it were mine.

I would have been testing and adding every hour.

Found my invite, Damm USPS can't do their job right

It was Moana... What else!?

I use a projector and bought some projector screen material off Amazon. My mom was nice enough to sew it and put some grommets in it to mount it to that pergola of death.

Same at my place. I've got it memorized

I'd have been playing "Shark Week" if it were mine.

So then there would be pee and poo in the pool

I shut the party down halfway through to do a little breakpoint chlorination. I made everyone stand on the edge of the pool and watch me test the water until the levels we suitable for swimming again

300 beers[emoji15]must have been a lot of thirsty people[emoji2]

 

[Brentr]

60 people[emoji15]I don't think I can fit 60 people in my pool. The most I have had is 25 people at one time

300 beers / 60 guests = 5 beers/guest

So a 20% guest/beer ratio .... hmmmm .... seems maybe one should set their FC/CYA ratio to equal the guest/beer ratio for appropriate sanitation/oxidation levels.

There's a new Deep End thread here somewhere [emoji848]

Assuming that all 60 guests were adults over the drinking age[emoji44]

You won't get an invite until you name your circuits in ScreenLogic

I'm pretty sure I fired down 3x my allotment of beers

There were probably 20 something kids here and most of the women were were doing mixed drinks so probably more like 300/30= 10 each... Liver conditioning!

[Divin Dave]

Well Brian,
Not only can you design and build the best OB pool I've ever seen, (In So. Cal. none the less), you certainly throw my kind of party too!
