Hello! First time pool owner here and I just wanted to drop in and say hello. I have a gunite pool with stonescapes aqua blue plaster at around 19,000 gallons. I live in Austin Texas so it gets really hot here and my pool gets about 10 hours of direct sun per day. No trees so not a ton of junk in the pool. I recently took over the care of my pool and found trouble free pools and so far have learned a lot. I have all Jandy equipment and a Paramount UV2 system and Nature2 Fusion With mineral cartridge. Since taking over the care of my pool my water looks amazing and clear. The pool servicing company was just shocking the Crud out of my pool and calling it a day. When I took over my pH 6.5 and my total alkalinity was 25. Free chlorine was 10 ppm. I’m learning a lot every day and have recently purchased a Maytronics dolphin explore E70 to help with cleanup which has been amazing. See you out there!

Can you post some more pics of your equipment and the electrical to the right? Mine is in but yours looks cleaner and I'd like to see it better for an idea.

Thank you.
