    Power Outage Drains Pool

    Ok, racket said this was 101 infinity edge stuff. Should the pool HAVE NOT be plumbed this way. I know everyone has different ways of doing it, but I'm asking if the pool builder should have know this was a problem. All he is telling me, that infinity edges must be running 24/7. Stupid me...

    Power Outage Drains Pool

    @racket....yep, I'd call him something else but it would be deleted! I'm not sure where to start looking for someone to correct the problem. We will look at it in the day light tomorrow and see if we can figure things out. DH is not convinced the pool is draining because of the power...

    Question about Using Household Bleach

    Thanks for the reply. The previous shock was achieved by adding 9lbs of dichlor and while I didn't have the Taylor test kit and didn't follow the process as described in "Pool School" it appears to have been effective. I do know that the Chlorine level following the "shock" remained above 5ppm...
