When done please post a picture of yourself in a floating pool chair with a beer in hand....you deserve it!
Congratulations!!!
Now the hard work begins - you need to take over your own pool water maintenance or else the "pool experts" are going to screw it up and your next post will either be in the "Help! I have a green swamp" Forum or else "Dang, now I have to drain half my pool because of too much CYA" Forum.

Yes we want to see more pics!
As a side note, what does it mean when someone at work talks about CYA and then I realize they arent talking about pools?? :grin:

After I joined TFP and for quite a while, I could NOT understand why so many people were worried about CYA. I thought well, maybe there's a lot of sneaky business going on here. So I kept watching and waiting to find out what all was going on underground. Then I was worried maybe I needed to CMA...... After about 2-3 months, I read Pool School - Bwah ha ha ha ha!
That revelation kept me laughing for days! (True story, no joke!)

You all are just too funny. I can't say I didn't think the same thing at 1st though. Having been a nurse, and a nursing instructor for many years, "CYA" was a common abbreviation stated, and encouraged when it came to teaching proper documentation.
I'll admit that it is also actually difficult for me to write complete sentences anymore because nurses don't write in complete sentences, we abbreviate everything. LOL I suspect NSG documentation here would look something like: OP c/o green pool x14 days, liq. bleach administered @ 120 oz per hr via return route, HS OCLT check encouraged with before sunrise in AM recheck. OP instruction given to continue to check FC, CC, pH, and also CYA... LOL can you just imagine how confusing that would be.

Crackerjack: that's hilarious!! I bet no one else has ever thought of giving water balancing instructions the same way as nurses' reports! Thank goodness or else I'd have a green pool!

I'll remember that next time. Trying to hold three little boys still, as you know, is quite a task
And yes, school clothes for boys are always expected to come home with grime liberally applied. I once found pizza sauce on the back of my middle boys school shirt...square in the middle!! And don't bother asking how it got there, the typical boy response - shrug shoulders and say, "I dunno?"

Emersonsdad, take it easy on CH as you get into this. In April 2014 I brought mine up to 250 ppm after the pool was drained and refilled. Two summers later it's at 600 ppm!!!!
Ok. Got the pump hooked up to the easytouch today and also the screen logic control. Everything can be controlled from my phone now!!
