What did you do to your pool today?

[borjis]

Yesterday plugged a leak in solar panel #6 (first time using/previous owner never used the solar)

Today scheduled repair of some drip leaks going in and out of pipe threads to multiport valve
and sand filter drain plug.

Emptied the pool cover for the umpteenth time after the rain. Night temps below freezing predicted for the next few days. With frequent rain, ice on the cover seems to be unavoidable. Skimmed maple tree buds out of the cover. Went to pool store to replace short hose and try to get replacement parts for the Polaris.
But still can't even enjoy it yet.
Soon, very soon.

pretty sure he was referring to this,
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.*

I think it's all there, just didn't know if he wanted more explanation ;-)

I kept my water above shock level all day. Tested every 2 hours. Backwashed and emptied the auto cleaner.

At the time, I meant put in why you were wondering about draining water.

Yes, yes you have! The relentless SLAMMER!

I did a set of test, but didn't even have to add anything.

I put our new deep end ladder together, went stainless steel, replacing grey vinyl handrail and ladder.

 

[Patrick_B]

Good deal dapeople!! That means you're doing something right

Nice Ernie...Old School Pool ladder, I like..

Tested the pool for the first time this spring.

pH - 7.5
FC - 4
CC - 0
TA - 90
CH - 350
CYA - waiting for water to warm up from 54 degrees...

I had added a gallon of old 12.5% that was stored in the basement (probably close to 8% by now) on Sunday after scooping out most of the leaves. That the FC held for 4 days means NO CYA TO AMMONIA CONVERSION THIS YEAR!!!

Thanks Patrick! I am relentless about it...lol

Today I kept pool at shock level or above, brushed the bottom and ran the auto cleaner.

Passed an OCLT this morning after elevating the chlorine post opening just to be sure all is well.

 

[Divin Dave]

I emptied the skimmer this afternoon. Thats about it.

 

[Patrick_B]

I ran skimmers too Dave...after weed eating an trashing the pool. Little breezy here this evening.

Didn't get to my testing...haven't since Sunday.

(But I did have 8 FC )

Good news on the FC hold JV!
