Pool Woes

Well, being out of work has both good points and bad points.
Good - I've collected lots of used carpet to put in the yard.
BAD - Pool chemicals have gone WAY up in price.
Good - The storeroom is now full of paper for making papercrete
BAD - Sammi the suzuki died. I cannot afford to rebuild the motor. AND I do not want to use my one and only vehicle for towing loads of papercrete.

The pool was a very SANDY Algae filled mess. So I put in Algae killer. Sweep everything to one corner. Moved the filter out of the way and pulled the plug. The just kept sweeping the sand out the hole. Now I'm talking Sand a FOOT deep. Took about an hour. Lost two inches of water.

MATH TEST. Pool is 21x41 feet. 4 feet deep. How many gallons is 2 inches of depth?

I don't know I flunked math.

I reloaded the algeside and santizer and now have the filter running. Scrubbed every inch of the sides.. I'll get some kitchen scrubbie and tie them to my feet to scrub the bottom. So far it's looking pretty good.
