Splash ain’t kidding. Your choices are to brush some to stir up liquid chlorine now, Or brush 20X more when you are trying to SLAM. So much brushing in the latter.
What did you do to your pool today?

Checked to make sure the solar cover has t blown away. Used the leaf blower to clear debris off the cover. Cursed at the wind for the third day of wind storms in a row.
I’m done with these cold fronts rolling in and taking away summer. We get maybe two days of warm swim weather, then BAM! Drops into the 40s at night for several days.

Brushed and vacuumed. Didn't get in because I have an intestinal bug and didn't want an...incident. Sucks to be sick with a crystal clear TFP pool waiting for you! 
Hey, At least you kept it that way...... smart call. Feel better.Sucks to be sick with a crystal clear TFP pool waiting for you!
Repaired the Heat Pump and temp is on the rise again. Harvey my robot blew a couple of wheel bearings. I will open him up to see which ones they are.
added 3 more 50 lb bags of salt
Installed my new saftron pool ladder and hand rail
Cleaned up a bit and called it a day

Cool pic of a sundog!
I brushed and vacuumed, fished out a couple of dead wood roaches (the big scary kind), and saved a waterlogged honeybee. Held the brush so she could climb up on it. She buzzed her wings to dry them, then took off. I told her to be more careful next time.
I don't think she'll listen.

Thursday the 18th (my birthday!) I skimmed, brushed, vacuumed, backwashed filter, and grumped at the fact it was 72 frigid degrees. Beautiful day, crystal clear pool, too darn cold to get in! 
After 5 days the pool is finally at 90°F. We are having 2 weeks of 90F+. Yesterday it hit 95°F. So the pool still felt cool getting in. Once you got out and stood in the shade with the wind, then getting back into the pool was warm.
PERFECT

Brushed, vacuumed, skimmed. Added water. This brought the temp down to 71.
Bah humbug.
Bah humbug.
Bleach, acid added. Pool was 94 on Wednesday. WAY to warm. 86 today, after leaving solar cover off...perfect.

Turned down the salt cell/pump run time really low for vacation. Pool will be covered for two weeks and my setting has always been too high in past years. This year I will try 30% for 4 hours which is super low, but a clean pool with 0 UV uses little it seems.

Bought some Rustoleum rust converter and primer and paint for some surface rust. Best to tackle it before it gets out of hand!
