Early this morning the pool company came to make sure the waterfall works and to turn on the filters and skimmers. A pool maintenance person was also here to brush the plaster of the pool to get some of the calcium from the stones and plaster moving for it to be filtered out of the water. I noticed right away how you could see the difference in color. The calcium is a yellowish white powder and makes the pool look green instead of dark blue. I could also see more of the quartz specks in the plaster once it was brushed, too. The specks are supposed to be more and more evident as the water clears each day. They also showed me how to turn the waterfall on and off as well as the lights in the control box. The remote control hasn't been programed yet but when it is, I can do that from inside the house. Jets for the spa/hot tub are ordered and will be in soon and installed as well as the salt for the whole system. It should all be together by Monday! I really enjoyed planting a few more shrubs this afternoon by the waterfall. I had Savannah and Bruiser to keep me company until it started raining, thundering and lightning. Can't complain because our sod and shrubs need every drop of water they can get!
