Leak fixed.  Pool filled with water. Working getting the pool chemistry correct.  Health Department will be out on Friday 5/28/10  for our inspection before we will be allowed to open.

We think Carolina Pool discovered our leak. When they installed our new V G compliant drain covers they drilled new holes and failed to epoxy the old holes. Keep your fingers crossed that was it. We pressure tested the lines and they showed no leak so they feel pretty confident it was the drains. Will advise if all is well. Hope to start refilling the pool in the morning.

We have discovered a leak in what we think is in the main drain of the pool, Carolina Pool of Sanford will be here on Monday to try to locate and repair it. Not what we wanted to find today, we are working as hard as we can to have it opened by Friday next week.

 We are doing some major repairs to our pool this spring. The local inspectors require two drains in the bottom of the pool this year, which required us to remove a large section around the old drain and install two drains. We are removing all the old paint and it will be getting a fresh coat of paint, hope to be complete by Memorial Day weekend.
