So we are at around 2 feet in the pool, all rails are on, electric panel is installed 5' away from pump and facing other direction, skimmer and return installed, upright caps to go and filter system to set up. Then we start on the solar panel and reel setups - there is light at the end of the tunnel but sometimes it seems VERY far away.

Our water had a temporary setback when the well filtering system had a breach yesterday afternoon and rust got in the pool - it was almost brown! We hooked up a small sand filter from an older pool and hung the hoses over the sides - put some Iron Myte for Pools (Metal Out) in and ran that pump all night. The water is nearly clear again and we are watching the well filters (3 of them in a series - 2 rust/sediment and on charcoal) - we give the well a rest at night. We should be full by tomorrow evening - yahoo! The solar blanket goes on as soon as it is full enough for that - that should help with the June Bug invasion from Hell. I have been scooping like crazy!
