How did u mix. I have been using a pump in the deep with a 4 foot hose attached to whip around. Metal end cut off. I was just curious to exactly what u used and how. Thanks!

so is it a bot or do u control it on a pole. I couldn’t gather that from reading? Do u keep the bag off to let it just pull water up and throw it to agitate the water?
It’s basically a trolling motor on a housing, attached to pole w 12v deep cycle battery.
I dropped her in bagless yesterday, only because I didn’t feel like going to my shop for a bag.
89 today air temp got up to about 84, hopefully we won't see anymore overnight 40's so I can take this cover off and start summer.

So the wife tells me that she wants to go swimming (Yesterday which is Sunday). The pool temp is 76 degrees and it is 12 noon. I say to her "Really" I could have started warming up the pool on Saturday ie. turn on solar and heat pump. So just a test I turned on the heat pump and solar to see if I could get 10 degrees into the pool by 4 pm. Long story but we had the pool temp to 86 degrees however the air temp dropped to 61 degrees so no swimming Just a waste of electricity:lol:

Woohoo!! it's up to 42.6 F today. At least its not a solid block of ice anymore and I can put the temp probe back into the water... Another 4 weeks and I can think of taking the cover off.
44 here on long island. I need the weather to warm up. We had such an insane amount of rain this winter, I had to drain the pool 3 times about 8 inches worth of rain. I want to add CYA and bleach but the overnight lows are still sometimes below freezing so I can use the pump yet. Maybe another 2-3 weeks. Pool is crystal clear though. I closed at the pool at 16 FC.

Suppost to be low 80's today so I am going to turn on solar. Temp now is 73 degrees.
88 I should have left mine covered it was mostly cloudy until about 1:00 and I don't think it was 88 (maybe 84) can't trust weather forcasts... oh well we're getting rained on over the weekend (if the weather forcast is correct) so cover is likely going back on tomorrow...

88 I was off from work today and got in 1 extra swim day (3 in a row). 
We have a lot of rain and clouds the rest of the day through tomorrow so I put the cover back on to see if I can salvage some heat for a possible Sunday swim... looks like Jacksonville is already getting doused today no need for a pool with rain like that 
but our time is quickly coming to central FL... :sad:
