Soft open phase 1 underway!
I am currently adding water - opened the cover to see level, get a rough water & temp sample. Our cold spells are behind us & it’s a nice day so got all the plumbing hooked up. The valves are all closed until I’m done filling so
there’s no leaks when I open them!
The top Water is already 62 degrees![Flushed face :flushed: 😳](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f633.png)
The oto test was dark school bus
so still ok there.
I did unfortunately break off one of the plastic pump drain plugs when tightening & cannot get it out
I can touch the oring so I doubt it will hold & not leak.
Maybe I could epoxy or gorilla glue something to it to get a hold of it? Open to suggestions- the needle nose aren’t working. It looks like its made of that strange plastic like those blocks from when I was a kid

When I went looking in the she shed for my 2 spares I decided to clean out all the accumulated junk in there & have the fellas take it to the dumpster so that’s done
at least & i can get to my stuff now.
I replaced the flow switch with a new one that came with my tee last season. I was using an ancient terrible looking one so I figured why not!
Also replaced a hose, barbed fitting & clamp since the hose clamp screws were stuck & non functional due to rust.
Next up - clean the nasty deck sometime before I uncover the pool!
