we used the pool for a few hours this morning! all i needed to do to get it ready was do a final vacume to clean up the dead beetle bodies. the water felt great even with an FC of 17ppm ( tested this morning ) and PH at 7.4/7.5, my wife is usually sensative to chemicals and such and i got zero complaintes about the water quality from her other than she felt it was a little cold at first. no red burning eyes or anything!

thanks again PF!
