grollies Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 @sappersrest just fired up the chlorinator (10 hours after adding salt). Dosing pump kicked-in. Will leave it overnight and set up the acid dosing tomorrow. Slowly does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sappersrest Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Once you get into it looking after your pool it can be very rewarding. Ps how are the reed beds doing its a part of water treatment that really fascinates me but never got to grips with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappalot Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 So after arguing a lot with our JPM but with some help from some smart co-owners I got the green light to at least do a minimum of swimming pool cleaning. We completely emptied the swimming pool, scrubbed the joints and got a lot of sediment out of the overflow tank. Unfortunately I could not arrange for an acid cleaning let alone re-grouting the joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappalot Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 We installed some kind of nets on the outlets, the pipes leading from the Overflow canal into the overflow tank. Anyway we have quite a lot of dirt coming out of the vents after the water went through the filter. There is something wrong, right? It looks like the diatomaceous earth is finding its way into the pool. That shouldn't be, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
