What we've been up to - part 2!


And here are before and midpoint shots of the pool - so far we have added on day 1 - 12 lbs of chlorine + 4 gallons of liquid cholorine and a bottle of algecide. Day 2 - another 6 lbs of chlorine. Day 3 - another 4 lbs of chlorine and 4 oz of clarifier. That got us 1 day beyond this picture - we can now see the bottom of the deep end and have scooped out all the leaves and have vaccuumed all the dirt! We have added 25 lbs of alkaline stabilizer so the pH does not go all out of whack and another 4 oz of clarifier to clump all the tiny particles the filter is having a hard time getting out. We have a DE filter so Chris has changed the DE - at least 4-5 times now.
He also has a snake friend that lives near/in the pump - Chris HATES snakes - but seems to tolerate this one.
