That sure is one way to do it! That and brushing (sorry but....) will help mix things up.
SC Pool Build
- Thread starter Gibby13
- Start date
Electrician came today and is wiring it all up and putting chlorine in. Monday pool builder is coming and will clean the driveway, clean the pool, and put salt in. Luckily I hadn't picked up my order of salt from Lowe's yet. I am going to just get 5 bags to keep on hand and switch the hot tub over.
And we are pumping.... I had to help him for testing the lights since it was the first intellicenter he has installed. 
How much you want to bet he will be calling you for help in the future!!! LOVE IT!!
So he didn't wire the lights correctly, both are wired into the same relay....
But it looks good.

Man those light that up great! So you wanted to be able to turn one off but the other one stay on? I bet he could come back and fix that for you.
There might be some before the water starts to flow. Once it starts to flow they can be worked out. Now if there is any wrinkles or dips AFTER it is filled with water that changes things.
I was worried you were going to say that. How bad is the wrinkle? When you say dip what do you mean?
Can you get pics of it?

I'll try to get pics tonight, they are really easy to see at night when the pool lights are on....
Yeah I sent a text yesterday and called today, they called back and will come "look" at it.....
They came to vacuum and add salt, I counted 18 bags that they added. Dude didn't know how to make the SCG turn on with the Intellicenter.... 15 minutes later and I had the SCG on and the VSP hooked up to the Intellicenter. It is reading 4300ppm. I'll run tests tonight with the test kit.
Since I don't know if they are going to have to drain it all for the dip or wrinkles yet, I decided not to add anything, but did take a round of tests. PoolMath Logs
I put the SCG on super chlorinate earlier today and threw in the M600 to do the water line, the pollen was starting to build up.
Current pump schedule is:
24 hours 700 rpm
2 hours 1800 rpm

Pool deck drain... Pool builder didn't say anything about it and neither did the concrete contractor.... The wall builder brought it up last week. The concrete contractor said he could do it however we wanted. Either sloping the deck or putting in a drain. So I ordered 100 feet of the below, thinking it would go up against the wall.... 
Wall contractor was here today and started digging the footer and said the drain should go in the middle of the deck and to have the concrete company slope it from the pool to the middle and from the wall to the middle.
Is there a rule of thumb on deck drains? Like where they go, how wide or deep they have to be?

Pool Builder came out and checked the liner issues, took pictures and noted them down, they will be issuing a certificate if we have any issues with these spots it will be covered completely.
Just have to raise my PH a little bit and chemistry will be all good. It took quite awhile to add 60 lbs of boric acid lol.
Fence builder is starting next week.
Concrete contractor is coming Saturday so we can go over the layout. Wall was severely over budget, so might be cutting out some of the concrete we wanted to do and will do it at a later time. I am sending back the drain I got and I think if we need one, going to go with a micro channel drain instead.
Wall was completed yesterday.
