Not as Hard as it Looks
I went up to Chi-Town to hang out for a little bit this weekend and didn't get back to town until midnight......I'm regretting it now on this Monday morning.
The pool guy came by Saturday morning before I left town. He went thru total pool maintenance with me (step by step) It's actually fairly easy and kinda fun. (and beats dishing out 75 bucks a week to have someone do it for you). Now I finally understand the concept of "shocking" a pool. The maintenance is divided into 2 week cycles which makes it easy to remember.
The pool guy also noted my water level was low causing my skimmer not to function properly. I added water on Sat and now my skimmer works great. No longer do I have to utilize the net on the long pole to pick up stray leaves and other floaters. The skimmer does it automatically. Plus, last week while I was picking up leaves, I lost my footing and nearly fell in , fully clothed. Grabbing the side rail was the only thing that stopped me. My neighbors would have loved that.
From now on, I'm cleaning the pool in my swim trunks
