    Pump and PVC Melted under Blanket w Halogen Light during TN deep freeze 2024

    My pool near Dallas is still holding on since being well below freezing for over for three days now. I Think I’m going to winterize it next year as this is giving me all sorts of anxiety. It survived 4 days of the teens last year but is struggling this year. Worried about tonight.

    Pool Price

    This is pool bigger than mine in width and more concrete work but nothing about the design or spec screams anything over $130-150. Everything on that sheet is 1.5-5 times marked up.

    Yeah I am burning 5 FC a day, I have some intense western sun shining on my pool. Between that and the extremely weak chlorine, that was my problem. Everything is going great now. I’ll be glad when I can toss in my robot and switch to my SWG.

    New build in DFW Area UPDATE: Fill Complete

    Got in today and the darker spot in the deep end isn’t noticeable when in the pool. It’s only really noticeable when you are on the far side of the pool where no one will ever be unless they are walking around the coping. There is rough spot in the plaster it’s about 1’ x 2’ area near the drain...

    Yeah I am not going to SLAM it. I guess I’m just gonna have to keep a constant eye on it and stay ahead of the chlorine loss. I’ll do the overnight chlorine loss test tonight.

    It gets sun from essentially 11:30 to 8:00pm with 1-4 being direct full on intense westward sun, the it starts to get gradually shaded. Still holding around 4.5.
