Yeah that green has worried many a person! Glad you knew to not panic!
Kitties around the pool=cute!!

Thanks. I'll look and see if I can find one that will read more. I guess it can be reset, so you could write down a reading before it maxes out, reset, and do again totaling up all the readings.
It flips over and starts again...I've got it down, I check it every hour or 2 and keep track of the change. Almost there!
Finally done filling. 21,400 gallons.
I guessed 21,399.99999, so I think that I probably won the guess how many gallons contest.
Do I get a special prize?

The prize is on backorder.
Probably in one of the ships waiting to unloadThe prize is on backorder.
I know this will come as a surprise to everyone but my PB didn't tell me what to do today (if anything)...someone is supposed to come tomorrow and turn on the pumps and add chemicals. So should I start brushing today or is that pointless with the filter not being turned on? Here's what I have for my tests...not sure I should do anything other than wait for PB but here's my starting point:
FC: 0
Ph: 7.8 (This was a little tough to tell, it looked closer to the 7.8 color than the 7.5 color)
CH: 200 (Per the Wet Edge Start Up Instructions this needs to be raised to 250)
TA: 240

Our 7 year old daughter has named this cat Pandora. "Pandora is a goddess that is always very curious and the cat looks like he is very curious about the pool."
And she named this one "Water Fairy". It looks like it is not afraid of falling in the water.
The tuxedo cat is Sylvester. The other one is Angry (yes, we named a cat Angry...it fits
)I just read the fine print for the contest.The prize is on backorder.
According to the rules, the prize can't be issued until the pool is 100% complete.
That shouldn't take long, right?
Go ahead and brush as it will help keep the dust from settling and getting adhearded to the good plaster.
LOL on the new names of the cats and the real names!

My bowls are probably on the same ship as your prize.
@JamesW This is what I wound up with for the wall suction (I think...couldn't see the model # on it but based on size and look)...these things are hideous.

I guess I should have actually measured the pvc pipe for the wall suction instead of going by paperwork...the pipe isn't 2 1/2 inches...I don't know what it is...I measured the circumference of the pipe that is connected to the cover and goes into the wall pvc and it's about 6 1/2 inches around which from what I can find, doesn't match the circumference of any typical pvc pipe sizes so I don't know.

A 1.5" PVC pipe has a circumference of 5.97".
A 2" PVC pipe has an outer circumference of 7.46" and an inner circumference of about 6.43"

I went to the link, they come in many colors, light gray, grey, blue, etc. to best match your plaster, why they always do white is beyond me.@JamesW This is what I wound up with for the wall suction (I think...couldn't see the model # on it but based on size and look)...these things are hideous.

I didn't even notice that...was too busy focusing on how big they are, lol. The ones they installed are actually light grey (hard to tell that from the picture) but they should have done the darker grey to match the rest of the fittings.
