Thank you CJadamec. We are having the landscaping crew put down fabric and gravel and rocks all around on Friday and the retaining wall on one side, where the top will be level with bottom of pool. Not doing anything much on the trench side except putting in a drain to help drainage...hopefully that is enough. They are coming Friday so will post picture after.
Regarding the chemicals, I put in half bottle of the stabilizer into stocking and by lunch all dissolved (I kept the pump running since yesterday morning). I just refilled with the remaining half bottle. Do I need to keep pump running for stabilizer? I will retest tomorrow. The kids are hoping to get into the pool this weekend, is that realistic? So I test CYA, then test chlorine again, then TA? Is there a ph in the Taylor kit? I realize that I didn’t get ph reading last night while testing.
After everything, then I test salt? Does the swg stays on with pump only (about 8 hrs a day) or does it stay on 24/7?
Thank you so much all!!
