He stopped after doing a small amount so now it looks worse and I don’t have time to finish it.
Oh well! I doubt anyone will notice at the party for his little league teammates and family on Sunday.
Not much PSI increase today. Light test is looking good today, I think.
Nope! All they will see is the water as they run to jump in the pool! Make sure to push your FC up right before the party.

Had to clean up a couple of mice from the skimmer, that was nice.
Cleared off some of the pine needles with a leaf blower and tried to keep stuff out of the pool, but some got in. Light still looks pretty good.

You never know what could end up in the skimmer apparently! Looks really good!

Plan right now is to keep up with the DE, because why not? But the PSI hasn't gone up so it may be done catching what it can. At least anything in quantity.
The pool party is Sunday. I'll bump up FC before and after it. Target around 10 or so for my CYA of 30-40 both times.
On Tuesday we leave for a vacation in Vermont until coming back 11-12 days later. I'll bump up the FC one last time and throw the solar cover on the pool. That should keep debris out of the skimmer. I have a lady stopping by to feed our cats daily (one has medication so the auto-feeder alone won't work), and she agreed to throw a gallon in a couple of times a week to help with the FC levels. With the cover on, the phosphate remover, and the borates, I should be as set as I can for being clear when we get back.

Killington for a week, and taking our time on the way to sightsee. On the way back it'll be a straight drive back (about 16 hours, but we have 3 drivers so should be just fine).
Spent many a ski trip there. I was only ever there in the white months but I'm sure its spectacularly green now between the 5-7 peaks.

Circling back on this from another thread of mine:
I forgot to do this, but remembered today because the gas company was doing updates to our gas lines before my street gets repaved later this summer. I asked for a larger gas service just to be safe in case the pool heater is going at the same time as other appliances and they upgraded me to a 425 CFH meter.
That made me think about the one burner with orange flame. Checked it, still orange:
So I gave it some blasts of compressed air at the side closest to me where I thought the burner orifice was, and:
Full blue, no more orange to speak of.
Thanks @1poolman1 !

There will always be something to filter out because it takes the filter a week to catch up from one breezy day and in that week, 2 more are breezy.
If you are where your at, or better, you're doing it right.

Looking about the same tonight. We will see what tomorrow brings. Still at about 16-17 PSI so not quite to 25% yet.

But the party is today so..........................have the chlorine ready to take care of anything the group leaves behind!
I'd get that into the water before.....so what if it's on the hot side for a day.
