Right!
Pool has had its first clean, as the rainwater had brought the level up too high for the skimmer to do its job I set the multi position valve to "waste" and used that suction to "vacuum" up the dirt from the bottom rather than put it through the filter.
The water got very cloudy so I was guessing a lot of the time as I was moving the vacuum/brush head thing around.
The mended pole is working a treat.
When finished the level was still a tiny bit high so left it pumping out.
Went to look at where the waste goes to, not usually bothered but was aware it headed in the general direction of the new neighbours' land.
This only happens once a year so not really bovvad. Couldn't see it actually getting to their ditch. Though it came out of the place the pool builders left an open pipe at quite a rate!
I'd like to connect it to the "tout a l'égout" pipe but I have not much idea where that is or how deep it is buried.
Lot of work for a once a year event!
I could always do it when it's raining!
Pool at 20 degs, and I'm leaving it pumping for 24 hours.
W's foot still swollen up so we ain't going down the town to see the Fanfares tonight either.
But she will be going to the barbie on the Stadium tomoz as I will be able to push her there on the Wchair.
If she had full feeling in her foot this sort of thing would be a bit less likely to happen.
So, about to have a late lunch, W on a zoom chat so we are both supping drinks, beer for me Pimms for her.
Have a lovely rest of Satdi folks!!
