Well, my weather dance did wonders. Everything dried out the way it should have and look at what we got this morning.

Another pool!
Keen!
Excellent!
Update: The pool was full by early Sunday morning. My PB wanted to make sure I got it full before the rains came. Too bad we couldn't let mother nature take over on the fill. 8+ inches of rain will go a long way to help fill a pool. I am hopeful to get the equipment up and running ASAP. I want to start getting this water filtered as quickly as possible. I'm not too sure what effect all of this rain would have on a plaster job if the rain is very acidic. Anyone know???
I'm sure it'll be fine. I'm in the same boat. I believe they are supposed to come by today and fire up the pump and put in some Chlorine.
I'm anxious to get the polaris going to get the leaves off the bottom - can you run a vac on new plaster?
Sean, I'm not sure about regular plaster, but the Diamond Brite installation manual includes the following statement:
Do not vacuum the pool with a wheeled vacuum for 14 days, to avoid leaving “wheel marks”. Brush type vacuums may be used immediately.
I would tread carefully, so to speak.
Sean, My PB will not bring the 280 until late next week. I would imagine for the same reason Eljefe was talking about. Do you have a wetsuit? As long as you can get in the pool without stepping on the steps or walking on the bottom, you should be able to clear by hand. I am fortunate that when they built our neighborhood, no trees were left standing. Good luck.Quote:

You see, there are benefits to having kids. If you don't want to do it and they are excited to do it, I think you have a perfect match. Just keep them off of the sides and the bottom of the pool. Happy leaf hunting.:D :DQuote:
