    It's scheduled for Thursday from UPS. Just looked at the extended forecast and it looks like we're going to get some decent weather for a bit. Only garden variety storms in the next few days. Honestly, from what I'm reading, I think this is algae. Not sure how it can bloom this quickly. Ugh. But, the shock the builder had me add in seems to be working. The spa is looking pretty good.

    I assure you it will get better once you are able to take control. Meanwhile, you might have to sneak some chlorine in there to keep it at appropriate levels.

    Yep! Can't agree more Jim. I really trust the builder and everything he's done. He has not steered me wrong yet. I just don't trust his minions he sends out to maintain the pool. I saw them doing tests in the middle of a pouring rain storm the other day. How accurate can that be? I will feel much better come Thursday.

    They're probably adjusting chlorine according to "industry standards" (1-3ppm regardless of CYA level) which as we know here doesn't work well.

    Looking much better! Couldn't see the bottom yesterday, and this morning I found a few spots of shock granules that I missed with the brush. I'll keep the pump running on high and then vac a little later on this afternoon.
