Okay confession, I did briefly wonder why you would have so many drains on your wet ledge...
Pool looks great!

Had to go look...LOL.. Guess at first glance it does look that way...
Just drying waiting for today's install.
Acid washing as I type...Spa done, waiting on pool. Should be filling by 1PM..
YES you do!!! Now run out and take the hose out of the spa and put it in the pool. It is too early to allow water to run down the plaster. It could cause streaking.

Your water is going to look great!
I don't see your finish brand/name an color in your signature. People will want to know about your gorgeous water color!

Thanks AmyJo.
Quick Question for anyone regarding numbers to follow. During the break in period before I add salt (1 month) , should I be using the non swcg numbers?
Here is where I am at now, adjusting and checking daily...
Any glaring issues..
PH 7.8
FC= 2
CC= .5
TC= 2.5
TA=90
CH=250
CYA=50
Added acid and chlorine per pool math.
Love this site and everyone who helps.

You nailed it! Yes use NON-swg levels for now. Your numbers look good! Once you put the salt in the water and the SWG started THEN move to the swg levels!
Love how you have already learned so much and know what to do!

Thanks Kim. This site is amazing with all the info available and people that assist. I hope to pass on what I've learned to others.
Funny story. I wont listen to pool stores or other pool owners after reading this site and getting all the great feedback... And what Ive learned so far, but Im just really a newbie.
So I get the "What you need to do is" from a neighbor today... Who proceeds to tell me I need to buy this (pic below ) to make my life easier....and sends me a pic...
Oh and just buy floating pucks....
I tried to explain TFP...but just gave up..

Poor, poor neighbor. (where is the pat on head emoji?) That is all well and good until it goes sideways on you and the pool goes green! Yeah you keep adding that and and watch your CYA shoot to the moon.
No matter what we say, until it goes sideways they will keep doing it and even then they will run to the Pool $tore and spend major$$$
I do keep trying though! One day I will see a new friend on here that is willing to try!
thank you for the love and for trying to help them!

Thanks Kim... I felt the same...Want to take my kit up there and test his water for him...But not going to do it...
Oh then he proceeded to tell me why he didn't go SWG... SWG's can't keep up etc.... Just shaking my head...
Numbers are almost spot on, Now deciding whether to test in the am or pm, or does it matter? Brian had a good thread about big parties and getting ahead of things.. Learning so much...

Find what works best for you and your lifestyle. I like to do it after the sun is off the pool. It gives the fc time to do it's job without the sun taking it away. It really does not matter.

Your pool looks great! I hope your wife was happy in the end with HER tile and stone choice because I think it looks great.
