We’ve had a lot of sizzling afternoons this summer time so far.
Some afternoons, it’s so hot, I just can’t wait to go back inside to love some air conditioning. Even with our car, I had to take it to the auto service shop so they could refill the AC compressor with refrigerant. I did this to make sure the AC plan was toiling perfectly because I couldn’t deal with just rolling the windows down while driving. So a single of the main things was toiling on the pool. I kept shocking the pool every month to make sure everything was nice and added all the balancing chemicals to make sure the PH was between 7.2 and 7.6. One thing I was complaining about was the high cost of chlorine. It seems that chlorine in recent years has almost tripled in price, and they say it’s because of a chlorine shortage. Whatever the case may be, I just wish the prices would go down. So while getting the pool cleaned, I was bothered because the water was still cloudy, no matter how many clarifying chemicals I put in there. Finally when I went to change the sand in the sand filter, I found the issue. The pipe inside was cracked, so the water was not filtering how it is supposed to. So I got a new replacement part for the sand filter and then filled the filter with fresh sand. Within a afternoon, the water was crystal clear in the pool! Everybody was so ecstatic when they were able to go swimming, especially when every one of us have been dealing with so many tepid afternoons.
