Installer gave instructions not to add chemicals for 3 days. With our current heat, that has me a bit worried about algae growth. He also said to take water sample to pool store, which i told him i do it all myself with my test kit.

It is a 24' x 52" SwimLine UniBead liner.

I have liquid CYA, liquid chlorine, dry acid, cal hypo on hand as needed based off initial water test
 
Looks very nice. :goodjob: I don't understand the 3-day wait period for your new vinyl though. :scratch: Did he give you any specific reason why?

I'd do the chlorine like yesterday because tomorrow is too late. What's there to wait on vinyl but I'm always ready to learn something I've missed here on TFP.


He didnt give a reason but i was originally going to add CYA and chlorine tomorrow. Basically 24 hrs running before any chems.

Had to drain the pool below the skimmer though. Skimmer housing is cracked enough to drip water.

Frustrating because they gave me a free skimmer face plate because it was cracked, but they didnt notice the other cracks on the inner housing or as they tightened the new faceplate to the housing it cracked.

They will be back in a day or two to replace the skimmer housing. Hoping its tomorrow.
 
New skimmer installed around 1230pm. I was here around 130pm to atrach hoses and get water back in.

Adding CYA and 3 ppm of chlorine as soon as the pump is running, which should be in about an hour from the time i am posting this.20220628_154728.jpg
 
Tested FC again and it is at 1.5, this is 30 minutes after adding. Clearly my left over bleach from last season is no longer 12.5%.

Will just assume it is 6% going forward. It was purchased in October of 2021.

those were some cool tables. Likely right around 6 - 8 percent considering purchased in the fall and stored outside in the garage over winter. Unlikely that they froze considering the freeze point is aroud 5*F. the tables didn't show degredation under 70*F and we stopped having temps in the 70's well before i bought them.

That's if they are even a true 12.5% when purchased.
