Hope you enjoyed the vaca! Hubby is off the whole week, though it seems we never get as much done as we like.
Ladder is OK... I got some more of the 16" ones and built another 'pad' like we have for the equipment though I took time to level things unlike the installers
The 400lbs of sand is leveling them out the equip pad OK though.
I bumped the chlorine to 10ppm and when I tested post party it was at 8ppm with no CC. I haven't been out yet today, shh, I know it's sunny already but I'm still in my PJs My only concern is that I did have kids complaining of eyes burning... which isn't much fun. Not sure if that was the chlorine or a result of the pH being dropped to about 7.4.
<edit> test results: FC=7 CC=0 TA=425 pH=7.5
The TA is at about 450 now.... down from 550 I will continue to add acid to drop the pH and use my fountain to aerate it! I'll attach a couple pictures for ya. I believe I was grateful for the extra 3 feet yesterday when we piled all the people in! It never did seem crowded though I'm fighting a nasty swimmers ear today :-( Boo!
Since it's too hot to landscape we're going to Home Depot to buy a timer... he is going to get a hard wired indoor timer and hook it up in the house. I suggested using the timer only to run the pump on low and was given a big NO. He's an EE and says that's a recipe for a fire... I don't like fire, so we'll do it his way I'll let you know how that goes. We opted for the indoor one because it's a little less expensive and easier to wire up.
