These photos were taken today penetrating roughly 7-8 feet of water (6' water - pictures taken on about a 20-30 degree slant) and should lay that discussion to rest.

Chlorine only and sand only....no DE, nor clarifiers...I've been running the filter roughly 12 hours daily.

I practice BBB -

LOL, I was about to say the same thing. It's easy to show off how clear it looks before you put water in it.

Seriously though, it looks amazing!!!

I still want to know how he goes about the process of changing out the sand in that monster filter he's got when and if it ever needs to be done

Hey Dave...looks like you're getting pretty good at the BBB thing, so good that you might consider starting your own swimming pool forum...oh no wait

Just kidding...looks awesome Dave!!!

 

[Bama Rambler]

I think you're gonna wanna get some sequestrant in there. Looks like you have some copper in there. Oh wait! They don't make them out of copper now do they? :-D

Looks great! The coin trick seems to ne a pretty good gauge for clarity. Now I have to try it ! I'll have to beg borrow or steal 6 cents from my 2 year old.

 

[MyBad]

You should "show off" looks fantastic!

 

[Tbell]

WOW! Just awesome Dave! That is some clear water! I love BBB!

Dave...
Your coin trick's got nothin' on my wedding ring trick...
Thank you TFP, it was quite visible with minimal lighting this weekend. And no. I didn't take pictures.

 

[Casey]

I love your liner Dave! Do you think you can squeeze the whole pool into a pic for us?

 

[257WbyMag]

That is super fine fo sho!

 

[geekgranny]

That's pretty impressive. As long as I have calcium scaling, constantly releasing from my pool, I'll never have water that clear no matter what the filter.

I am recommending a sand filter to my friend. :-D
