What did you do to your pool today?

[pooldv]

What? It's nice there today? I heard it was superstorm Saturday yesterday.

Big storms last night, sunny and 80 today.

Marian, the legendary April snow/ice storm in Michigan usually comes the day or day after I've scheduled the pool company to open (aka take off cover, powerwash and check/startup equipment, as opposed to chemicals which I don't let em touch). Therefore I predict this year it will snow Tues or Wed )

Sorry!
I realize it would otherwise be 70 and balmy....

Ya, got to 80 on Friday and 50 now. :shaking: brrrr.

Took a peek at the water for the first time this spring after spending eons of time cleaning my auto-cover. You can see the rain drops in my picture; hoping for enough rain to start the pump so I can get some test results. Looking favorable...

Topped off the pool overnight, swept the bottom. Tons of fine dirt from winter snow, wind, etc. Will test chem levels tomorrow. Hopefully an easier start than last year.

I went to Menards and bought bleach, BOGO woohoo! I just wish they didn't have a limit of one.....oh btw $4.00 for 12.5 percent.

Checked the temp am it was 75, checked at noon it was 76 and solar panels are blasting heat into the pool. I have also emptied my skimmer baskets about 2,378 times today and the pool surface is covered with some tree doodoo. But, the water under the tree doodoo is sparkly clear.

Last sunday I cleaned and replaced filters with the pentair carts that i don't like. Wednesday I cleaned and put the Pleatco cartridges that I do like. Before that I did full meal deal TF100 tests. Added 3 bags o salt and some CYA to get everything in line for swimmy-swim-swimtime. Everything else was perfecto and ready to go.

Now all my pool needs to be ready for swimming is more hotness!

This made me giggle!

Yes, Pooldv seems to have become the resident TFP Comedian. :jocolor: It appears to be his calling.

I performed FC and PH tests, checked skimmers, turned in spa and water feature to aerate. And wondered if I should drain part of the water.

Nothing today... let the pump run for a few hours to get some sediment out.

****ed weather. It's supposed to dip below freezing for the next 3 nights. Spring is never coming!

Awww heck! Total bummer! There are some houses for sale in Texas, I saw some signs. :-D

I may have to consider it. It's SNOWING in my pool today.

Swampwoman called it: when she opens her pool then the snow and/or ice hit. She said "Tuesday or Wednesday". She was right on the money!
