Pool Work ...

May 5, 2015
Today I was going to tackle opening up the pool ...
since I had been eaten alive while trying to relax ...
in the hot tub the night before ...
First of all I had to start removing the winter cover ...
and siphon out the scummy mosquito infested water ...
With 2 old long pipes from the well ...
I managed to roll up the cover on both sides ...
Once all the stagnant water was removed ... I lifted the cover off ...
I was surprised to see how clear the water was inside ...!!!
The next step was to start filling the pool with fresh water ...
and start connecting all the hoses to the pump and sand filter ...
Keeping my fingers crossed that there wouldn't be any leaks from the valves ...!!!
Yipeeeee ... !!!
Success ... pool filled ...
pump started and NO leaks ...!!!
Took a water sample into town to be tested ...
to see what treatment was needed to get it ...
to the optimal swimming level ...
Guess the wood furnace will have to be fired up now ...
to heat the ice cold water ...!!!
