    SLAM started!!

    Slam seems to have worked well in a short time. I’ll bring it back to slam level of 12 (it came down by 4 ppm today which was sunny and warm). Check it in the morning to see if an exit is possible.

    SLAM started!!

    Indeed you can. Pump is running pretty strong so the pic has a lot of distortion from the water disturbed on the surface. Water is VERY clear at this point. I think it’s working!!!

    When to open in Michigan

    In the past, i’ve based my opening more on how the surroundings are shedding their flowers, etc. than what the temps were. I used to have quite a few flowering trees that were obnoxious about dumping petals into the water and caused constant cleanup. I’ve since done away with all but one...

    To open or not to open

    The pool is currently in hibernation given the relatively cold temps of South Central PA (snowed a bit yesterday). I am in the process of obtaining and will be installing a new VS pump and SWCG, but need to do some re-plumbing/electrical/construction (for someplace to hand the SWCG controller)...
