Day 2 of the new pool...

[steveinaz]

Things are going well, water was crystal clear when I came home from work yesterday. Finally knocked PH down to about 7.8, new plaster had it sky-high; added another pint of Muriatic acid and will check again tonight--should be right in there.

The in-floor cleaning jets work pretty well, I really like the way they keep the water circulating, and tend to bunch all the crud together in neat little piles that can be swept right down the main drains. I'm impressed with the system; I didn't really think it would work this well. They did a fantastic job on the waterfall, with water coming from 3 different directions and a very natural look.

Here's a pic of it almost full (Monday), took 30hrs and 3 hoses:

Looks nice. What kind of landscaping you plan to add around the pool?

Congrats on your new pool!!


^^Note: You lucky to have a privacy fence like that. I wish we had the same.

We did 4"-6" rip-rap around the border Saturday. The rest will be "Apache brown" rock, to replace what was there originally.

Love the look, thanks for sharing the picts. We still have snow on the ground here in Michigan, so I can appreciate the warm sunny looking picture. The rock feature does look very natural. Kimrst
