You get in at 50°f!? Wow, that's dedication right there.

Yep! I'm going to on run the pump for 24 hours before I start testing and balancing. I will promptly throw the sample bottle in the trash from the builder and rely on my own testing like I did all summer long following TFPC methodology. They come back to close the pool in a couple weeks. I...

What a day! With the last water truck just packing up, this story comes to a close. Thanks for tuning in!

Thanks! I don't think they are. They are still working on it. The truck driver is very patiently waiting too. It's starting to look real nice.

The first truck has arrived, but they definitely aren't ready!

I think the pool was built in 2008, and it's original. We bought the house earlier this year and it had a pretty significant tear in it. If not for that tear, I'd say it probably would've lasted a while longer.

Out with the old .. they are going to do a little clean up and then.. In with the new!

Almost empty! My yard seems to be handling the 22k gallons pretty well 🤣

Hi all! Today I woke up to a bit of a surprise, my pool builder called saying they were on their way with my new liner! How did this happen? I ordered it a few weeks ago, but while on vacation last week I apparently missed their call letting me know they were coming today! Here's hoping that's...

Will do!

Because my wife took the bottle from them so now I feel obligated to take it back. 🤷 They gave me a load of free vinyl samples to try and patch my liner and also some advice with trying to salvage the summer with it. I thought what the heck full the bottle, have them exclaim how perfect my...

I think we're at the end of the road here. The water seems great! Chlorine loss seems to be what's expected with the high UV we've been getting, chemistry seems balanced, I have TA up to 80, and still need to bring my pH up a little, I'm sitting at about 7.3 or 4.. but I am good for on watch...

That would be nice, though that was also the price estimate in their little booklet, an he was talking to me about doing it come fall, so I'm not sure 🤔

Phew.. got a estimate from the pool builder for a liner replacement.. $10.5k outch. I am hoping this liner they gave me for free gets me through for this year and heck maybe next year too..

Good morning! Here's where we are today. I'm slightly concerned I stopped slamming too early. Even though I passed (or so I thought) all three criteria, I'm seeing algae collecting in small piles daily anywhere there's a crease or edge to the pool. I think it's algae. It's brown, it poofs if I...
