Ok, so I cannot give it the FULL effect here because I do not have the original "black pool" picture on this computer. But, if you go back to the very first post of pictures of the house in its original condition and see the opaque black pool, you can really appreciate this! This is the first thing in the house that is COMPLETELY done ... the pool!!!
Then, we refilled the pool. All of this took a LONG time! It took 8 hours to drain the pool, then around 30 hours to fill it! The result was worth it .....
It started out super black. That's the only word for it. Then, after we closed on the house, Charlie's mom came and started shocking it and scrubbing the sides ... it was her little project!
She did quite a bit of damage (in a good way!) to the opaque black water and got it looking something like this ....
The next tall order of business was draining the pool. Here is the water almost completely drained ...
Once it was completely drained, Charlie pressure washed the sides. It got most of the black off and left just a little bit of a tan stain on the sides. Good enough! Much improved from what it was, so we'll take it!
Then, we refilled the pool. All of this took a LONG time! It took 8 hours to drain the pool, then around 30 hours to fill it! The result was worth it .....
And, last, we had the pool company come out and get the pool up and running for us. They put in a new filter, flushed the lines, fixed up some stuff and put in a new salt water system. So, now we have a beautiful salt water pool ready for the summer!!! DIVE IN!!!!
