Just put submersible pump in without hose and water is moving! THANK YOU, TFP! Will be testing water shortly and adding LC. Water temperature is currently 90° F!!!! 🥵
Added the rest of the 12.5% LC that was in the bottle. Swirled it around good with the brush right before the rain started. Overkill, but it should last a day or 2. Will swirl water and run the robot daily tomorrow & this weekend to keep the water moving periodically. Whatevs. I’m screwed.

Used skimmer net to scoop all the dead bugs and stuff out since I have no pump. Swirled water a little before taking my water sample. I don’t know how accurate the results will be since water has been stagnant for well over 48 hours . I’ll go with whatever the test kit says and add a bunch of LC. I hate this!!!! No green stuff yet. *knocks on wood*

Ran out of muriatic acid! Have some pH down to get me by until I get more. Fill water is very high pH and TA but shouldn’t be enough to make a big difference except maybe pH.
Added approximately 1.5” of water with the hose! Test results below are from BEFORE adding the fill water. Also trying to drop water temp at least a couple degrees before it gets super hot again. I’ll do a full water test again later after it’s mixed.

Dear Pool Diary Readers, I don’t know what is going on with this damn pool, but we got a sunny forecast and temps in the 90s all weekend and next week that I need to prepare for. Sigh….I shall be up at the ass crack of dawn tomorrow. I have had to drain a little from the pool twice due to rain water accumulation. Wind blew tons of junk into the pool and I lost a LOT of FC in 24 hours. It was cloudy 80% of the day today. Time to get this bad boy ready for the weekend. I NEED TO GET TAN EXPEDITIOUSLY!!!! Newdude, I hope I can at least bring you some good laughs after my stupid 5 day pool neglect — complete with my FC dropping to 4.5 after testing yesterday for the first time in almost a week and me bringing it to SLAM yesterday evening right before a brutal rain/wind storm and losing 9ppm (!!!!!) after testing just a bit ago. 9 freaking ppm in slightly less more than 24 hours. WATER IS CRYSTAL CLEAR!!!! Just lots of leaves and debris at the bottom. 🤦🏻‍♀️ SEND HELP!! Carlos, the robot, will be earning his paycheck this week. Probably some overtime, too.

Draining about an inch of water. Lots of rain & skimmer ain’t skimming so I am draining at least a half inch, probably 1” since it’s supposed to rain tonight & tomorrow.
