That is a good temp drop overnight.....makes the water refreshing instead of bathwater LOL

The guys are working on the decking right now, so I couldn't get any shots from the other side.
I will take more when they leave!

Yeah, that's not too bad. I think it's gonna be on the warm side. It's only 9700 gallons & I get full sun - northern exposure.
I was thinking about installing some posts along the wall behind the pool. Maybe I could attach those shade sails from the house across the pool to the posts for shade. I'm not sure it's HOA compliant though....

With a light color plaster you will stay in that upper 80 range. The pools I see on here in Las Vegas and Phoenix with dark bottoms - yikes! They could easily see mid to upper 90F water temp!
Shading might help a bit. But the real factor is night time temperatures. They drive your initial water temp in the am.
Watch out if you use sprayers or deck jets. They drive the pH and CH up quick with the aeration and evaporation. We put in deck jets and don't use them, too noisy.
Take care.

You'll see it stabilize around 86 or so right now. Later on this summer it should stabilize around 88-89. Rains during monsoon will cool it down.
Agreed with Foos - get that polaris out of there for now!

It's a Hayward Phoenix - they said it was okay... I was gonna buy one of those vacuums without the wheels & they said - don't bother. Really think I should take it out??
The wheels could make track marks in that new plaster. It does not happen often but lets not take the chance!

Okay!! I don't want that! [emoji15]
How long do I need to wait until it's safe to use it?
I have heard different times but 30 days seems to be the norm. Until then do get the manual one. I really think every pool owner should have one just in case.

I'll pick one up!
Same. My PB was strict about 30 days. One of the very few things they were firm about.
Thanks! I think it look pretty with the blue water & tile. Not quite as much bling as you though!!
My numbers last night looked pretty good. Let me know if there is anything else I should be doing.
I added a little acid after this test & a little liquid chlorine this morning.

Pool math says I should add 11oz of calcium chloride. I can't believe my water isn't too hard....
Should I go ahead and add this? I've never added it in my other pool.
Water is 84 this morning! Yay!
