    Yeah, mine is cleaning up nicely. I dumped 2 tri-chlor tabs in the skimmer as I have no CYA in the water and none in the house--that helped keep a constant level of FC overnight. FC is holding at 10+ now, and the water while not crystal-clear yet, is blue, too. Also the B/D is pulling SO much organic stuff out it's making the LC's job easier.

    Temp is rising fast--it's now 58 deg and was 50 yesterday. Even with the clouds and rain it should warm up a lot.

    Backwashed once already.

    Two problems:
    1) New doggy had decided to dig around my pool trunk, an outdoor cabinet that both hides the pump and filter and holds handy stuff. He's very handsome, very loving, adores everyone, and is constantly in trouble--a true rascal. He'll be a year old at the end of the month.

    2) I just threw out my back 15 minutes ago--bent just a tiny bit wrong hauling a 5-gal bucket and POW! Icing it now...

    Oh, Carl, hope it gets better soon--that hurts!!!

    Swim season has officially started--got back from my daughter's rodeo last night and we were all hot and sweaty, just couldn't resist--man that pool felt good!! Water temp is 79.4.....close enough!! The girls got up this morning wanting to go right back in, so I guess we're officially swimming. With current air temps in the 90s and humidity between 90-100%, it feels good!!!!
