Thank you to everyone for the compliments! It has been what feels like a long time waiting but only 5 weeks since we received our permit from the city, so things have moved along very efficiently.
Took our 2nd water sample in today (first from the pool) to get all out start up chemicals. Ouch! After we get everything in line, I can't wait to try the BBB method and save some $$$! Added the chlorine tabs and some start up chemicals to start getting all the levels proper. We also need to brush the pool at least 4 times a day for 4 days, then at least 3 times for another 10 days to help with cleaning and shooting out the plaster finish. (2 days down!)
Asked how long before we could get in, was told to wait about 4 days once pool was filled. Today makes day and a half, so it looks like Wednesday is the long awaited date! We have cheated a bit though and hung our legs over the sides a couple times! Feels AMAZING!
The day we filled our pool, the temp was already 91 degrees! Was 84 this morning after a fairly heavy rain and strong winds came through last night from a Monsoon storm. Warmed back up to about 89 today.
Forgot to get some nice daytime shots of the pool with the cool umbrella but here are a few cool night shots of the LED light. No clue how to operate it yet other than on/off, it's set to just cycle through each color (white/green/aqua blue/deep blue/purple/pink).
Tuesday or Wednesday should bring us our orientation day on how to operate everything and help with any remaining questions.
The only thing that we have a problem with is the lines for the deck jets were improperly hooked up (do not work) and so the plumbers need to come out and fix that. To this point, that has been the only blunder. Aerator works nicely and the floor cleaners are very strong compared to some other floor pool cleaners I have experienced.
Without further ado, a few pics of some colored water!
