Opening up Today!

Wolfepack88 · Apr 8, 2022

Opening the pool today, hoping no green stuff. I'm in NJ and Holy Moses, we had a deluge the last couple days and one day last week. Popped the corner of my cover and the water was about an inch from the top. Opened the de-watering vertical pipe and the water was way way up. Put my pump in that pipe at 7:00am and started pumping. That will take an entire day to get that water level down. Put a second pump into the pool to lower it a bit as my cover is floating on the water and I would like to get it dry before the boys come to open up the pool. The sun is out finally and will warm up next week. Grass is green and telling me, "it's time to mow" but the ground is saturated so it will take days to dry off.

Good luck! We're in a similar boat here but didn't get quite as much rain. I want to get the grass mowed and edging done around the concrete before I take that cover off so a few more days until that grass dries out! Take some pics of that beautiful TFP water when you open

Seriously, Mother Nature needs to put down the Tequila.

We had a 60 degree hail storm 2 Saturday's ago and it made a full double rainbow that merged into one honking rainbow. The pics don't do it justice.
