It's A Goofy Job

Time to go to work, let's fire up the golf cart and head to
the West pool.

The first job is to arrange the chairs and lounges, push

them back to fence, put backs up, then

we take the chemical readings, for chlorine, ph, and TA

factors.

and be sure to log the readings. Once a week we use this

blue bottle of scale be gone to scrub around the inside

top of the pools.

Next we walk around the pool and clean the skimmer

baskets. These baskets collect the junk that falls into the

pool daily, leaves, tree limbs, hair, bugs, flowers and the

occasional FROG!

Next, I get my scrub brush, attach it to a 10 foot pole

and begin scrubbing from top of pool, down about

5 feet.

I am done scrubbing and have to bring out the vacuum

hose. it is a pain! always twists up and I have to straighten

it out daily and throw it into the pool.

I have hooked up the vacuum to another 20 foot pole and

next I will attach the hose to the vacuum and fill the hose

with water from one of the water spouts in the pool.

Do I have to reach down there and unhook the hose?

Yes, this is where one end of the vacuum hose is hooked

up, to the internal vacuum.

Pool should be at 88 degrees, down a little tonight.

This is the pool pump, only one at the West pool.Where I

am sitting is the gauge to check pressure. If low or high,

over 15, I have to back wash the pool. turn off heater, turn

off power, move that black handle on the right, turn on

the power, back wash for one minute, turn power off, move

black handle back to original spot, turn on power and heater.

Last job is to open this tube and check the chlorine levels.

Keep your face away or you will have big breathing problems.

also check that clear top pump basket and clean out, turn off

the power first.

You can see the vacuum pole and hose in the water, push

it in and out to center of pool to pick up the crud that has

blown in during the day and now......
The West Pool is clean and beautiful again. Every other

night we wash down the deck, unless windy and there is

a lot of debris on the deck........Off to the North Pool,

usually around 1030 PM, it has taken me just over one

hour to clean up the West Pool.
