Just finished seeding and fertilizing, went with a Lesco Sun/Shade mix. Gave the 8’x100’ rolls of straw a go and I was genuinely impressed.

Just finished the upper pool patio and pulled the cover off. It’s taken a year and a significant learning curve. I would never DIY my own pool/patio installation ever again in my life, but at last…it’s in! From tree removal to every nut and bolt, all in we spent 115K.

The pump is probably 60ft ish away from the pool. When it’s primed and flowing it’s great. But when I backwash it looses prime and I have to work like hell to re-prime it. Will a check valve on the skimmer line fix that or do I have the wrong pump setup?
