Went through Hurricane Ian and had a ton of damage to our house and the surrounding homes. Our pool was filled with roofing debris and insulation amongst other things. Had to re-plumb the equipment pad because something took out my filter. Anyway, I'm finally ready to get the pool back open!
The pool is swamp -like and I notice an oil like sheen on the top. Is it from the asphalt shingles or can algae do that? I'm thinking it's best to drain the water and start over?
It's probable there is still some smaller debris on the bottom that I can't see. My concern with draining is the high water table here and I don't want the pool to pop out of the ground. In South Florida. I'm guessing that the water table is about 5 feet down. Any guidance on draining?
I called a bunch of pool companies and all but one called me back. Quoted $4k to get the water clear and balanced, with no other work!! My pool is 18k gallons plaster btw and I've been maintaining it for 8 years.
