I cannot agree more about the pool stores... I just went to HD to stock up on chlorine. So here we go: I started SLAM one hour ago. took a FC and CC test right before I started and I was back at 0 FC added 3 gallons of chlorine bleach 7.5% as per SLAM table and POOLMATH. waited 1.5 hour...

Yes Maddie you are correct.

Reading a few more threads lead me to measure my ammonia levels, we have 0.5ppm level of ammonia. I am not sure if that is acceptable or high. In an aquarium I would act. I am going to go gather SLAM supplies ie. Chlorine.

Hello, Thomas' wife speaking Last night: FC 3 ppm CC less than 0.5ppm pH 7.5 this morning: TA 180-190ppm CH 600-625ppm SWG 10% I am currently battling some water chemistry troubles. We turned off the SWG for a few days by mistake and it resulted in cloudy water and low to nil chlorine levels...

13 tons of decomposed granite later……

Plain jane white plaster. No finish, no nothing. You can see how much dirt has accumulated on the bottom this winter as my robot is currently striping it clean, lol...

Not done yet but getting closer. Steel boxes planters are done. Bocce court behind is almost done. Spring is in the air in Salt Lake!

Black would be a total nightmare to keep clean here as well. I also went with white, and it's been great. Light gray would work as well.

Yes. I like your design but I'd go deeper than 5.5 feet. At least 6 IMHO for that size pool. I also think the very small round step into the pool is a bit dated looking, I'd do something that goes futher down your benches. I have a 30 foot pool and have 4 globrites fwiw. I think lighting...

Well, you can always add material at this stage and make it more shallow. The opposite is much more difficult.

Good morning! If the pool color stays this way then wow. Thank you YipeeSkippy for the great advice. Mitt ordered! Had a bit of trouble sleeping last night for fear of flooding the pool!

And we are filling!

Plaster day!!!!!!!
