    Default Hurricane Isaac: Come At Me Bro!!!

    Well, we live directly in the storms path so now I guess we'll see how well the pool is constructed! This ought to be a fun ride.

    Good luck! You don't have any glass tables near the pool do you?

    Heck no! I decided that glass and pools don't go together so there is nothing glass even remotely close to the pool. Only thing I'm worried about that I can somewhat control is the amount of water in the pool. I'll have to check it periodically and use the waste setting to remove the excess water. Other than that, it's all out of my hands.

    Are you going to shut off / electrically isolate the pump? I don't think they're designed to work submerged.

    Yes, I will be turning off power to it and only applying if I need to drain. And that will only happen as long as the pump is not under water. I appreciate all the questions/comments. Keeps me on my toes!

    Yep, was thinking about you just now as I was watching the weather.....I would shock it really well Tuesday night before you go to bed, because who knows what Wed. morning will bring?

    I'll be keeping close tabs on it too, since it's still supposed to be tropical storm status by the time it gets to me!
