Almost Ready for Summer

Hi Friends

I'm working on getting ready for summer

Which will be in full swing

Starting Memorial Day Weekend

That's when I will host my first Pool Party/BBQ

And I'm also preparing to Reveal my back yard mural

The first major thing I needed to do

Was to clean all the pool cartridges/baskets/salt cells

Here's is where I started when I got home from work today

 

I took everything apart

You can see those large cartridges in the back

Gross!

I usually replace them every couple of years

Today was the day

 

Awe

Now That's Much Better

The cartridges (8 of them)

Are rather pricey so I clean them every 3 months

But I have to admit

I had not done it since last summer

So - Replacement was a Necessity

Can't let them go like that.....

 

Evidently my pool box got left open

And rain water filled the tool bucket

Yep - looks like I need to replace all my pool tools as well

 $$$

Shesh.........

 

Anyway

She's all clean and ready for summer swimming now

I'll spare you the bloody details of what 

Lifting the top of the filter does to your hands

Wall Reveal in 2 Weeks

 I HOPE!!!

Thanks for joining me on today's 

After Work Project

BTW:

Getting Muriatic Acid on a paper cut

HURTS

The End...
