What did you do to your pool today?

Hi all! Well, I havent touched the cover yet, but I spent some time over winter trying to find a more trouble free (fat boy lazy way) to get liquid chlorine in the pool rather than squatting by the return for 14 hours slowly pouring not too slow or not too fast. I will try to post pics later for those of you who may want to do it, but I have found a siphon adapter used for landscaping, and rigged up a valve and spray hose. It will pre dilute chlorine 20:1 AND allow you to stand comfortably and spray the chlorine anywhere you want in the pool! If there is a contraption out there like this, I couldnt find it. JUST a little proud of myself!

Removed leaves and brushed it last couple of days, yesterday had work so just added some bleach and ran the pump, rained this morning so I'm just getting ready to run the lil shark cleaner to finishing sucking up the sediment left on the bottom.
That clear TFP water though...

You know it's getting spring when Minnesota is opening up!
And to think... some parts of the Twin Cities had 10" of fluffy stuff last week!I think tonight is going to have to be "peak under the cover for the first time since November" night for me.
Looking great, Kevin!
We got around 6-8" during that storm. Current pool temp is still 50 degrees (still looking to fix heater). Temperatures have dipped back into the 40's this week with overnight lows in the 20's/30's, but the green grass and sunshine are promising, as April showers will hopefully bring those May flowers....and adult beverages on the floats.

I sat and looked at the poor closed pool knowing that todays highs in the 60s are going to lead into snow next week

Got my weekend project finished. Takes a HUGE amount of heat off of the equipment pad which sits directly on the west side of my shed.

You are going to force me to hook my pump n filter up this weekend n top the pool off.

My little lady is itching at the bit for me to pull the cover.
Oooh.....I can be the bad one on your shoulder saying, "come on....do it....you know you want to....everyone else is doing it....it's not bad! "You are going to force me to hook my pump n filter up this weekend n top the pool off.
