Very good advice. Fortunately I returned the phosphates remover before opening. I was told that my phosphates level was probably too high because of surrounding plants etc., and fertilizer. Neither of these are a factor in my situation. They also said rain is a big source of phosphates. BS...

Wow. What a racquet. Thanks for clarifying the reading exaggeration. Very helpful. The plaster startup did include a stain inhibiter to added to fill water. This would certainly explain why my phosphates reading sky rocketed after the fill up. The Leslie's employee should have known this...

I do have a Taylor K-2005. I do my own testing, probably more than necessary. Every few months I get a free test from Leslie's to check other things my kit doesn't have. And also, to compare to my own tests. They must make a fortune of phosphates remover. Thanks for the advice and link to...

James, I found a couple more photos. These were taken after the pool was drained and before the workers came to do the repair. I marked the areas that were concerning with orange masking tape. If you zoom in on the photos, you can see perhaps about 20 spots marked with tape. This is when the...

Thanks for your continued support. I don't have a photo of the cave in before the repair. Water was still in the pool. I do remember it being half-moon shaped maybe 4 or 5 inches in length. Not sure what caved in. There was actually a pretty deep crevice, so I don't if it was just the...
