First post. New first time owner. Can't learn fast enough!
PB filled it our new pool in Sep. Salt startup in Oct.
I'll keep the story short and focused on my main concern.
One of the in floor cleaning lines (a "circuit" looks like what Paramount calls it) is severely restricted.
PB drained the pool last night (for this and one other problem) and troubleshot the issue this am.
There's pebble surface material in the schedule 40 causing the obstruction. So much so that the PB says they'll use an "acid stack" to clear it. I presume this means using a strong acid in the plumbing and waiting for it to do it's thing on the obstruction.
The PB is saying the pool could be empty for up to 2 weeks. Our temps are expected to be mid to high 80s with full sun over the next couple of weeks.
Also - one of the capped PVC locations for one of the cleaning jet locations was covered during shotcrete. No one noticed until after interior finish and there was a "missing" jet. The PB's intention is to uncover the location (removing surface and shotcrete by whatever means) and add the missing jet while the pool is empty.
I don't know nearly enough to know if I should be concerned about the thing being empty for (up to ) 2 weeks. And if I should be concerned - - what am I concerned about? What might I be supposed to be looking for? Are there methods to mitigate any risks?
Hope to be more of a "giver" than a "taker" around here....But at the moment - I can't find and/or assimilate info fast enough.
