As impatient guys dipping our feet in the pool business, you’ll seldom hear us drop the “F” word. This is because everyone has their own interpretation and definition of when a circumstance constitutes the use of the word, but here in this rare case I must use it to say; that was FAST. I followed the earlier chemical treatment with a backwash before heading in for dinner, and just a couple hours later here is what we are now working with! Quite a drastic improvement, thanks to trial-and-error education maintaining this pool since we had it dug in 2001 along with some research along the way it’s almost becoming second nature responding to the symptoms the pool communicates. This is coming along even quicker than I expected! 🥳🏊‍♀️🫧🌊

Gradual progress opening our in-ground pool at the orchard, we got our pH to the ideal acidity level of 7.8, added a “slam” dose of chlorine along with baking soda and algicide, now we sit back and wait for the chemistry to do its work. Even in the hour or 2 since taking this photo the color is changing as the algae has no chance of survival after today’s treatment, most will fall to the floor meaning we will have vacuuming to do in the near future!🕰️ In the next couple days things should be getting a lot less cloudy and a lot more blue! 💧And it can’t come soon enough, it’s starting to get real hot out there for April! 🥵🌞

Pool looking like this? No problem at all, so is our in-ground pool on the Rockville orchard; this ain’t nothing we can’t handle and we’ve seen and opened much, much worse. Today our alkalinity was 60 and pH was 8.2, we treated with Muriatic Acid & now we wait about an hour before we recheck the pH, the pH must be at or close to the ideal acidity before chlorine should be introduced. While waiting we are using a leaf rake net to scoop & collect leaves off the pool floor the best we can despite no visibility whatsoever due to no water clarity whatsoever. Hope you guys enjoy following along this forthcoming pool transformation! From Green to Clean™️🧼🫧🧹🤢🌊

We are about to open our pool on our Hanover family orchard/farm! This pic was from last summer, right now it is green and nasty; we don’t drain or use a cover for winter. We just utilize the water we have (as nasty as it is right now) and take a few simple steps to drop the gunk to the pool floor, sweep and vacuum, dial pH, add chlorine, bleach, among other steps my family has worked out via trial and error since getting our in-ground pool dug & built in 2001. We have only replaced our liner once. As we open the pool this season I will be posting videos and updates of the steps and the progression as it goes from green sludge to beautiful clear blue clean water 💦🧼🫧👙🩳🤿🩱🏊 send us a message to lock in your pool opening this year, we guarantee cheapest pricing!
