What did you do to your pool today?

[Countpyro1]

Well it's been filling for 2 days and about half way there!!!. I jumped in and smoothed out some wrinkles and lumpy spots that the pool people left for me. Also disconnected the 9' flex hoses as they installed those like cr@p and they were stretched thin. Gonna pick up pipe tomorrow and hard pipe it in

I tested the levels and all were within normal limits, so I brushed the walls and let Sharkbait do the rest...

"Sharkbait, Ooh Ha Ha!!!"

Now I just need to figure out how to install the Ring of Fire...

Cleaned my filter cartridges. This is about 60 days of dirt and crud.

The first deep clean of the season now that the pollen has died down. Cartridge filter cleaning and manual vacuum done! Chemistry is spot on and she is TFP sparkly!

Opened this weekend! Water is a balmy 51 degrees... Lots of dirt and dust on the bottom from snow melt. Brushed about 5 times but need to manually vacuum this week to get it all up.

Put in some CYA to bring up from about 25 to 40. Dissolving... slowly in the cold water.

Test at opening after refilling about 2-3 thousand gallons:
FC 4
CC 0
pH 7.4
TA 80
CH 325
CYA 25

Crystal clear water but lots of dirt, a few leaves. I'd start using the TigerShark but below about 70 degrees it's pretty sluggish.

First year opening after closing myself. No issues. Opened neighbor's pool too... payment in beer!

Vacuumed (half, need a longer sweeper hose) the pool, brushed and added more CL. I ought to have some pretty fine looking shoulders after all this brushing and vacuuming, lol.

I wanted to hook the pump up today but I'll wait til tomorrow. Hubby has been working on finishing the deck.

Actually swam yesterday as the water is finally up to 80.

Yup we were in the pool as well. Water was only 77. Still chilly but you get used to it. I have plenty of insulation as well!!! Lol

Just got back from the pool store ale: all the rain dropped my CH to 96!!! Ive never had to add before - so this part is new to me. Now I get to go sprinkle it over the surface - I am going to test one more time before I do & Ill probably split the amount to add in 1/2 and do the rest tomorrow. Just seems like a LOT to add at once. BUT, the water is still holding some temperature from the weekend! YAY!

I would only raise it to 250ppm. It is a good idea to raise it.

Looked at the temp, it was 79. I was hot! I dove in there like Divin Dave!

Jumped in last night for the first time this year, with the water temp at 79. Swam 30 laps, which hurt some due to broken ribs, but I survived. Thinking tonight I'll go for 50 laps.

From what I've heard, that can be risky. Right Dave? :jocolor:

Not been in my pool yet, things going on here, but it shouldn't be too long now. I really need to brush actually.

That green should come right off Patrick!

I swept about 5 gallons of katkins off of the cover last night. Added a gallon of bleach, and ran the pump for a few hours. I hope the rest of the katkins fall from the *stupid* trees before this Sunday so I can take the cover off and get to work.

 

[pooldv]

Lol! My stupid trees are throwing lollipops in my pool. But, they are throwing and I am picking up ... sooo ... who is the stupid one?

 

[DontFillitin]

We both are for not calling a tree service to dismantle them already!

You're not stupid DV, just an enabler.
