Everybody wants to know when their lights are going to get pulled in, and that's going to be on day two. We actually have the cable in the wall of the pool, and so we're going to pull the cable out, attach the light fixture, pull it back into the wall, and then screw the light fixture back on so it has a good tight seal on the wall, and then that's when we can start programming the lights. Another exciting thing about plaster on day two is the fill. So this is extremely important for us to keep the plaster from washing away. We want to make sure that this bottle helps it float. In all of our pools we install an overflow drain, which goes in the skimmer, and that's just in case any of the water starts to overflow or we get a heavy rain, then it has a place to go to the street and not just flood your yard.

Once the pool is full of water and hits that overflow drain right here in the skimmer is when we can start the pool equipment up and get the pumps up and going. Today, we're getting this programmed and ready for our customers for pool school. So about a week out from this pool operating and the pumps up and running, we're going to teach our customers how to use this panel and how to use their pool equipment. Everyone wants to know when they can use their heater. The most important thing about using the heater is that it needs to have at least a week of water flowing through it to get all those oils and any chemicals inside of it out. We want to make sure that the heater doesn't get too hot and combust, and also that your plaster doesn't cook. So we have to make sure that when you do use the heater, we're at less than a hundred degrees for the first 30 days, and after our customers can start using hot water.

A lot of our customers have typical chlorine feeders like this one right here. Some of our customers have a salt cell. In this case, our customer has both. What they're trying to do is supplement when the salt cell doesn't operate in cold weather by using chlorine tabs in the off seasons. A lot of customers ask why we're putting chlorine in the pool in the first 30 days, even when they have a salt cell. Salt pools are actually chlorine pools that are just salt generated into chlorine, and we can't start that process for at least 30 days according to the National Plaster Council. So we need to make sure that the pool only has the chemicals it's supposed to have for the first 30 days. Another important thing about your pool for the first 30 days is no cleaners. We don't want to have anything with wheels that could leave permanent wheel marks, kind of like carpet lines in the bottom of your pool, and that's plaster day too. We'll see you next time on the MedHawk Minute.
