I added chlorine last night. I went for my granddaughter this morning. Stopped at the store for a few of her favorite things (2 watermelons, mac n cheese, salt n viganer chips (I swear that's how she says it! LOL) and sweet tea). Well... we have severe storms blowing through right now with thunder and she's in tears so I can't sweep the pool nor let her swim. We opted for a short time on the front porch in the kiddy pool which holds 800lbs of sand and toys. ?

Ran pump 4 hrs, added 2 c chlorine last night. Swept and vac'ed. Have a cold so didn't swim, and haven't for the past week. Bah humbug. Seeing all that beautiful blue water whilst dripping from the nose and hacking up a lung makes me feel even worse than I really do.

My swimsuit hanging on the bathroom doorknob mocks me.

Nothing worse than a summer cold. Hope you feel better soon.

First I sat next to it and admired it over a cup of coffee and a danish. Then I tested FC, PH and TA. FC was within range for my CYA, but a little low for my liking due to high number of 4th of July party swimmers. I will add some chlorine tonight and retest in the morning. Other values within range. Need to turn the Polaris on to clean up the party aftermath of kids running around the pool deck and then jumping in the pool. Other than that it's TFP clear and beautiful!!

Due to storms we havnt been in the pool in days and days. Just testing levels every few days. Even turned the heater off.

 

[BMeeley]

Ran the robot... that blur underwater...

 

[Tena]

Skimmed it, quick test and dumped in bleach. Stared at it longingly, the stone edge burns I found out. Finally swim weather. ? Collapsed on couch again. ?

My daily routine, skim, brush, clean filter basket, put in new hairnet, drop in vacuum, test PH and Chlorine, check salt cell to be sure all is running well. Then I got in, did an hour of water arobics, swam lengths for an hour, sat in my lounge chair and did work on my iPad. I am back out to the pool right now for an evening swim with a weak orange crush (not much of a drinker)

 

[Tpopz]

Checked FC, tweaked the Liquidator, had the wife add an inch of water(sun has been wicked this week).........came to work. Been pulling 6p-6a shifts most the week. Off tomorrow though and hope to be casting a shadow on my pool floor most of the day.

 

[Brentr]

Changed out to fresh set of chem reagents and ran a full set of tests. Shall we say perfect

 

[BMeeley]

Ran a set of tests. Added 64 oz Muriatic acid. Back to near perfect. Then the lawn crew came!

 

[Wobblerlorri]

Swept the pool and vac'ed. Ran daily tests, ran pump for 4 hours.

I had to vac the pool yesterday because the real owner showed up and she wanted to swim. I noticed that I had a little green behind my steps so a quick SLAM is in the works along with a brushing. I need to go buy more chlorine. I still have 3 cases left but I gave my dad's wife some the other day because she hasn't went to the store since he died. So instead of having his pool turn, I gave them some and went up to get it in. I also have to get on tftestkits.net to order her refills on the kit. His powder got wet. I told her to keep it in the house. My dad was leaving it in the shed.

Today I had my yearly "OMG my SWG cell died" moment.
Grandkids in town, checked FC = 4, mind says either kid peeded in pool or SWG died.
Added 24 oz 10% enough to push it to FC = 6.
Jumped in did a good manual vac of the pool, while doing that I liked how nice and warm my pool was, then remembered the past.
Got out checked FC still at 4 which told me my 10% was now water.
Checked my CYA it had dipped to 50 from 70 aha same old same old.
Added CYA and ran SWG at 60% for 2 hours, FC = 5.
Will retest CYA in a day or two as I added 75% of what I needed to get to 70.

 

[Brentr]

Ran a full set of tests and adjusted as necessary. Got over 12 inches of rain in the last 30 days and the pool has been overflowing

 

[Wobblerlorri]

Swept vacuumed, and installed a Hayward through wall skimmer. See my installation guide at Installing Hayward Through Wall Skimmer

My neighbor wheeled over 2 tall ornamental grass plants that he dug out to make room for something else he was planting. I found a couple places in my landscape (such that it is) that worked and replanted them. They were a nice addition.
