    ATO installed. I love the alarm on it. I am very pleased. Installation was a real PITA, but was worth it.

    The magnets for the sensors are very strong and I was worried that I may break the glass if they barely snapped together. So I decided to keep my fingers between the magnets and the glass until I deemed the glass "safe".

    Dangit! I looked up at the ceiling.

    Nice ATO! Everything is really coming together.

    Was also suppose to have my new skimmer in there today as well, but FedEx decided to not let me be happy. It should arrive tomorrow. Then I will have everything as far as filtration equipment. Last thing on my list is a RKL. I mainly only want it to control the heater.

    I figured someone would look up at the ceiling.

    Skimmer arrived when I was at work. While I was making steak for dinner I decided to set the SWC Extreme 160 Cone up. I was done setting the skimmer up before the grill was heated...That is how easy it is to make sure everything is assembled and install.
