Had my "pool school" yesterday. My pool builder put all my paper work and equipment manuals in digital form on a usb drive for me, thought that was a nice touch. I have the hardcopies as well but its good to know I can store that usb drive in the "pool file".
OH MY now its my job to keep the water clear! Total newb when it comes to pools but am somewhat comfortable with water chemistry, testing etc. I will probably do my first water test later this afternoon.
I will definitely need to study the EasyTouch manual as there are loads of settings you can tune/tweak on it. I will fight my urge to tweak all the settings for as at least a few weeks so I dont screw it all up! My PB programmed my wireless controller and setup some "macro" type settings on it. One button adjusts the speed of the pump and turns the heater on and switches the valves to recirculate water to the spa, one button is for the air blower for the spa, one button is for the lights, and one adjusts the pump speed and kicks on the pool cleaner. There is also a regular pool button that adjusts the pump speed and sets the valves back to recirculate with the pool. On each setting I can set what RPM's I want the pump to run at which is cool. You can hear the pump spin up to different speeds when changing programs which is awesome for an equipment nerd like myself.
I have most of the landscaping completed. I still need to mulch and get some sod replaced. I have about 1000 sq ft of sod to be replaced and that is with adding over 900 sq ft of new hard surface decking in the back yard.
The flagstone inlays are complete but still waiting on the sundek to be applied. I havent pressed them too hard on the sundek as I have been tracking lots of dirt on the patio with all the landscaping work.
I will post another picture when I get the decking/patio finished.
