Ive owned the pool in the sig below for 3 months
Today we had some significant rain
The deck has 6 or 8 drains
The drains werent able to keep up with the rain
Water pooled at the drains
After the rain stopped it seemed to go down
and now that the rain is slow its keeping up - mostly
Im trying to figure out where the water goes
I have 2 down spouts in same area that go into pipes that disappear in the ground
they seem to drain OK
Im assuming the deck drains also go to the same place eventually
I tried shoving a flowing hose down the couple drains I could access
the water didnt back up but also didnt drain
Ive tried adding some soapy water to the drains to see if i can see suds coming out of a covered over pop up or something
NO dice yet
Looked in front and in back for somewhere the water could be draining to...
Now that i think about it the backwash valve has to go somewhere as well - it just goes to PVC in ground
... no clue where it heads after that
Any other ideas ?
I did find the pool over flow and its pipe that goes to the alley
