What did you do to your pool today?

[Metalman23]

Drained it down and painted the steps, refilled it in 4 days from well, now slamming and filtering

 

[Metalman23]

Brushed the floors and added a couple cups of liquid chlorine (I left my pool uncovered). Can’t wait to open the pool next week even though we won’t be able to swim yet lol!

If you are like Wim Hof the ice man then you can start swimming now lol

I can see the liner pattern in the deep end, getting closer...........

Still looking at the cover wondering when the weather will get warm again.

You're probably further south than me lol, I've been in the pool a few times already, swam a few laps and then promptly took a hot shower lol, it's quite refreshing

Not much here yet. Cover still on, but peeled it back again and ran some basics. Been crystal over the winter, but added a little Cya to bump me up from 30. Added a little Acid and Bleach. As soon as my trees drop some tassels, the cover will come off.

What did you do to yours?

The same thing I do most days, nothing. About every 4 days it gets app a cup of muratic acid. About once a month it gets "shocked". I hardly do anything to my pool unless it rains a lot.

Yesterday I set up the little solar powered bird bath on the deck and emptied, cleaned and refilled the plastic pond next to the pool. I made the mistake of looking under the pools cover only to come face to face with a slightly green monster. The algaecide I used last fall seems to have let me down. I have some work to do when it gets a little warmer.

Opened for the season. Water temp is 52F, going to be awhile before anyone goes swimming.

 

[Casey]

Still nothing over here. This weather is terrible.

Swimming, my pool water got up to 85 degrees today.

 

[Metalman23]

Come on guys, jump in, it's quite refreshing

 

[Pv2]

first swim yesterday! it was up to 78. cleaned the inside ladder, took off the rotting old solar cover, skimmed a bunch of trash from the wind plus lots of small white plastic detritis from the old cover. did a few lap-circles and put new blue solar cover on. this morning put the rest of a bottle of CYA in a sock and hung it int he water. going to go do swim #2 in a bit.

 

[chiefwej]

I forgot to turn the solar setting down. My pool water is now at 90 degrees!

I took the cover off today by myself and punched myself right in the mouth. Busted my lip pretty good too. LOL

I was tempted to drain the pool and tear the liner out n start on the floor but I dont want the walls to collapse. I've seen pools stay standing with the top rails on through the winter but I don't have that kinda luck so I decided not to do it. I did take a wire brush to my rust around the skimmer n wipe it down. Left it dry n hit it with rustoleum spray. I took a peek behind the liner n I have rust on the walls. This pool may last a few more years... that's about it. Looks better than the swamp I had the last 2 years. I lost a lot of water too.

Good choice not tempting fate. Especially if sucker punching yourself was considered a ‘sign’

I clobbered myself pretty good n drew blood.

New chlorine floater, swapping out the "Shark" for a regular one so our young German Shepherd doesn't try to grab as I think he saw it as a toy....

 

[Katodude]

Had between 50-70 mile an hour winds yesterday so took the pool cover off and ran the robot 3 times to get all the leaves out.

 

[crimson avenger]

Building it! ?

Checking how the Bluestone coping/patio will look...

 

[Metalman23]

Took apart my de filter cleaned it with TSP, reassembled, recharged, and over night the cloudy water became crystal clear!
