When you have a moment, post some pics of the pool.

I thought CYA was when you made sure you had all your pool receipts so you can Cover Your A** in case of a problem....

That makes sense. Thanks.

That might be a good idea. I don't know what the requirements are in Fl. Do you know if they typically go down only 6"? That would be great.
