Started working on the pool today. Vacuumed half of the gunk to the sewer until my pool got too low. Filled it back up with water (ouch) and now I am using 4 bags of shock. I am running the pump with the filter bypassed. Circulating all of that good oxidation through the water. Should be clear tomorrow

I am not looking forward to opening the pool next year! I do the stand up paddle board daily here. I wanna get as much of the leafs and junk out as possible before it freezes. You got me wanting to shock it again but my pump is already disconnected and drained.
How many gallons is your pool? Mine is 23,000 gallons so filling in back up is going to be fun$$$ I wonder how much roughly 5000 gallons is going to cost me! I think my $23 per month water bill is going to jump a bit!

I hear you!
Pools are like having a giant hydro system outside without the plants to enjoy!
I just had to put a foot of water in mine and it is going to be bad. Water is like gold here now!
Hopefully the El Nino will dump a bunch of rain and everybody will calm down. Probably have floods this winter!

Awesome pic @Mithrandir420 !
Between the algae and the drought, I am seriously thinking about doing something like that!

Looks like the plants are up on risers so unless it was a ton of rain I would think they would be ok. Maybe rig up some sort of sump pump to keep any water from sitting at the bottom. I was thinking the other day it would be cool to use a pool as a res to feed a whole yard of monster plants. Hehe 100 gallon container out door RDWC system

Or just hang the plants over the pool with bubblers in the water!
Checked the pool. It is finally reading high PPMs for Chlorine
I was thinking a sump pump also.
I checked the LA Con in the dirt and the Jilly Bean for seed maturity. Both top colas had green calyxes with finished looking seeds. I think I will stat with the LA Con first. It is getting some red leaves.

It would be in the deep end and you could hook it up with a air pump and make it a waterfarm
