Pool: Empty, Clean & Refill

[nelsonic]

Context

Now that winter has kicked-in and there are no more leaves falling from the Maple tree (on the street), 🍁
we can finally do our pool refresh using (filtered) rain water and re-activate the pool for leisure & training! 🏊‍♂️

Story

As an unfit person that loves swimming for fitness, 🎄 🦃 🍫 -> 🐖 🙃
I want to have a personal training pool where I can put in the hours 🏊‍♂️
So that I can get fit again. 🎯

Todo

• Film + Photo the "before" of the pool in it's current state. T25m 📷

the goal is to document the whole process from start to finish and make a "How To" video.

• Clean the pool; remove as many of the loose leaves as possible over the next few days using net. T4d 🍂
• Start emptying the pool using our submersible pump & tube into the waste water. T4d 💧
• While we are waiting for the pool to empty, tidy/clean all the surrounding areas! T2h 🧹
• Deep clean the pool with pressure washer and scrubbing brushes T1d 🧽
• Re-fill the pool! T1w -- thankfully the rain will help with this! 🌧️
• Buy salt & chlorine from Leroy while we are waiting for the pool to refill ... T1h

Going to get David @d4vcsj to manage this process over the next couple of weeks. 🙏
Need to check his shoe size and get him some wellington boots for walking in the pool. 👢

@iteles we could ask Daniel + Pedro to help with this as they did pre-summer. 📲
But need to gauge their availability and price ... ⏳ 💸
Ultimately we need to perform and document the process ourselves. 📝
So that it can be repeated as necessary in the future. ♻️

We've encountered issues in the past because as with everything, whenever we need support from external parties, everyone does. So ideally, if we can manage this process ourselves and create a replicable way to do it, that would be ideal for the future!

Ok. We can certainly start the process ourselves; which is just removing as many leaves as possible. 🍂 🍁 ⏳
