Pool update

Pool update, originally uploaded by captainjay.

Well the pool is almost back to normal. Its still a little cloudy but we're going through the Floc and vacuum regiment so its getting better with each round. Should be ready by this weekend when the family arrives.

On another note, the apartment is rented. The new tenant, Jim, arrives on Saturday. He works for the same company that Shaunda works for. We've had several email conversations and he seems really nice.

So between the holiday, new tenant and family, its going to be a pretty big weekend. Good thing I took some days off...I don't have to be back at work until next Thursday, WooHoo!!

BTW - Jay is off tomorrow so we're going diving with Admiralty!!

Jay doing chores on his day off again. The filter was pretty nasty since the pool was in such bad shape. But we think we have it somewhat back to normal. I've been off work most this week with a really bad cold; thank god for sick days!

Update- I lied about the pool being somewhat normal. After cleaning the filter, it turned the pool green again. I guess Jay busted loose some of the nastyness that went back into the pool. Now we have to start the whole cycle again!

Well the pool is back . After tweeking cursing, filtering, backwashing, vacuming, etc... The pool is in an acceptable state again.

We can't say the same about the computer. It appears that the video card is damaged. I will have to call Dell to see if it is integrated or not and what a new one will run.

pH Up pH Down

Well we have managed to kill the green. So the water is looking much better. But we can't seem to get the pH right on the pool water. I would love to have some good old fashion Litmus paper strips or a real pH meter. It was low so we added some chemicals to raise it. Well they worked because now it is way to high. This causes the cloudy water in the picture. So this morning we added some acid which will bring it back down. So hopefully we can get in the thing at some point.

Well today we learned an important lesson of pool maintenance. You actually have to do some to keep the pool looking like it supposed to. ;-) Its a little on the green side so I've been adding chemicals and more water and letting the pump run longer than normal and checking the levels and adding more chemicals, you get the picture. We're going to let it rest tonight and check it again tomorrow. Hopefully we can get it back to the pretty blue it was when we first moved in.

Isn't it neat how the Carib label matches the pool tile? Deb has
recovered from her shopping trama and I only had to work 1/2 day today
so it's a lazy pool day.
