So the weather is looking good. It is about time to heat the pool up a little bit and go swimming. The problem is, by the time it is usually hot enough it rains. I had to get the ole home warranty people to look at the pool on Monday. Everytime I turned it on the water level would go below the skimmers and then it would start sucking in air. The waterfall and fountain stopped working because it was sucking in air. I am learning about how to operate this pool. There are like nine valves on the pump. Some of them are automatic and whenever I press a button like "hot tub" the valves move to what should be the correct position.

We have had pool problems for a while now. I think even our pool people didn't know what was happening. The pool is a saltwater pool or a chemical pool and has a hot tub, a waterfall, a fountain, fiber optic lights, yard lights, a polaris cleaner, a pool heater and a spa overflow. A control panel is in the house. It is pretty complicated and if it is in the wrong position damage could result. For some reason algae started to grow in it. Then when I talk to the weekly pool people they are like - we don't do pumps we just clean it and make sure the chemicals are balanced. So they don't know what is going on. Finally after Monday the home warranty service fixed it all for $60. I am glad I have a home warranty. This time I took pictures of all the valve positions. Now I know what it should look like. Once I master the buttons and valves I will be king of the pool.
