14JUN24 - After all the years we've had the cement pond, the water has never looked this clear. Reason is, I finally got serious about water chemistry.

When we moved here, I did pick up a test kit and used it for maybe a year. It was somewhat time consuming and in an effort to be more efficient, I switched to test strips and used those right up until the pool was resurfaced earlier this year. Big mistake and I had algae issues regularly.

But I've learned and now that I'm testing the water every couple of days, the numbers are perfect and NOW I know how to maintain it, thankfully. My guess is as long as I continue to test it regularly, I am pretty sure I'll never have to deal with algae again.

AND, NO MORE CHLORINE TABLETS thanks to the salt cell which is working perfectly and allows me to keep the Chlorine level exactly where i want it. Love that thing and it's saving TONS of money as the tablets are over two hundred bones for a big bucket!
