That's just awesome! Beautiful environment. Congratulations. Cheers!

Looks great!! I like the painted walls myself. We did a stormy blue. I look forward to when your all finished around the pool. Nice back yard Oasis! Our walls....

Just awesome!

I too do not have ANY chlorine smell. This may seem unusual, but try showering before swimming to remove excess body oils and sweat. Then get out after swimming for a bit and smell your forearm. Cheers!

All you need is a "slice" of paradise. You definitely have it!! Enjoy!! Cheers!!:cheers:

It is very unfortunate the homeowner is going through this headache. Seeing this makes me glad to have rebar that ties the pool deck to the bond beam around the parameter of my pool. Good luck with your repairs.

Incredible renovation! Congratulations!!

Also, I like how your pool turned out. Looks great! Isn't the transformation awesome?!? Very nice use of the back yard for sure!

Same here. According to my "thermometer", I do not even consider getting in until I reach 88*. 90* is even more comfortable. My solar cover makes it happen. I'm up 26* since the 27th of March. I do not like any "chill" being originaly from WI. So I DO NOT like the cold. ;)

I am a huge fan of the solar covers. I use the dark blue "Heavy" cover. I put it on 3/27/2021, pool was 58*. Yesterday evening it was 84* Even into summer, it allows me to maintain consisent average daily temeprature that is ideal to us. It also minimizes evaporation and chlorine loss.

That's really neat!! Great option for your latitude!!

Your calcium on your tiles tells you your CSI is too high (over +.30). If you get your CSI levels down to -.1 to - .2, you will slowly dissolve the build up. Then maintaining a "slightly" negative CSI will keep the build up away.

Your ph and TA are too low for your temperatures. Add baking soda.

Very Nice! Love the "River to pond" water feature!!

I concur. I go though >.5 PPM a day. Last time I added 45oz. of 10% was 11/14/2020. It will last a week or more.

I do NOT have a SWG. However, I have added salt along with my Chlorine sanitation program. This fall my salt PPM tests just over 3600. That is the # I put into the CSI calculation portion of the App. Does this manual input for my salt and overall CSI overide the "assumed" 1000 ppm?!? Thank you,

Congratulations!! Pool looks great! Is it not cool how your finished pool reassembles the virtual design you have been staring at for months?!?:cool: Cheers!!

THIS! IS the question. I will be very interested to see the answer. :cool:

I found the same result with my conditions. With pool on north side of house and shade sails, I loose 3 ppm per day (June - Aug.) at 40 ppm CYA. 30 CYA is definately too low and the difference between 40 and 50 is negligible.

OP, can you confirm that you are working with a true 12.5% CL? Even CL a month old stored indoors can loose potency.

OK. So why would you ask how much add? Daily losses in CL can vary depending on UV exposure. On a sunny day I can loose up to 3ppm. If its a bit cloudy (last few days), I can loose 1.5ppm. The the "daily" added amount can vary as much as 30oz. The real balancing act is the "Ideal" CYA level for...

I must ask what kind of mini palm tree that is. I like the size!! Perfect!! So this bar is open in the winter?!? Growing up in Wisconsin, I know you could use glasses made of ice for the drinks at certain times :cool:

I totally agree that this "debris" is left over construction / plaster that settled in the pipe(s). That explains the color and shape. One side has the half moon curvature. Just took some time to break it loose and travel to the basket.
