Just looked over the equipment you're having installed. Is there any way you can have them take out the UV and Ozone and get the money back on those? They're not necessary for sanitation and generally a waste of $$$.

I was thinking the same thing, but assumed since they're already installed that would be a major headache for both parties involved. :|
Yeah. Too bad it wasn't mentioned sooner. At this point just know that when the UV bulb quits working or the ozonator conks out, no need to replace or repair as long as they're not leaking.
I essentially got the Sense and Dispense PH controller and the Clear O3 Ozone for 'free', since they had a promotion. Price didn't change if I didn't want it. (I know nothing is "free" and is built into the full price, but 'free' gives a little peace of mind).
The UV was put in at a discount, but it is too late to get rid of it. Maybe I will not buy the bulbs when they wear out
The benefit of the ozonator is almost impossible to quantify on a given pool, there are so many other factors. But I've been pretty lazy keeping my minimum FC above the recommended level and I haven't had a problem yet.
As a test I could consciously live a few PPM below, and have the ozonator on, and then off for a stretch. But if the result of the testing is "wow, I DID get an algae outbreak", I'd probably regret it.

Shotcrete done! Outside temp is 117 F! Water is evaporating even before hitting concrete!
There are some surface cracks on the concrete. The shotcrete guy said it is just on the surface and nothing to worry.
Guess it is ok?
So, based on the advice in this forum, I am getting rid of the Clear O3 Ozone and the Ultra UV.
Will be adding a Hayward SWG unit and hook it up with the Omnilogic. I am also going to add a zinc sacrificial anode made by Pool Tool (Model 104-D)
The 'wire' connects to the pool bonding wire. So, any galvanic corrosion that occurs in the pool will affect only the zinc and nothing else

Keep that water going.
The cracks are no big deal as they will all be covered. They are caused by it drying out too fast. Water and more water!

I know everyone's a professional and everything, but you do wonder how much attention to detail they can muster when it's 110 outside. "Close enough!"
I can't imagine anyone being able to work outside in that kind of heat. People say, "You get used to it!" I just can't believe that!!! Hurry up with pictures of the tile being put on!!!! I LOVE that tile! Take care. Suz.
