New to the world of pool ownership. My partner and I I purchased an older home with a fiberglass in ground pool (33 k gallons~).
Context:
When we moved in late last summer the previous owner was using biguinide, however, due to excessive algae problems my partner switched to chlorine prior to closing the pool over winter.
We recently had a major storm and flood which came just short of entirely filling the pool cover. We pumped this out, and re-evaluated the possibility of an early opening for pool.
My partner prepped, and we filled the pool, backwashed, rinsed, etc. and decided to allow the filter to run over night. In the morning everything looked great, so the filter was turned off.
I checked on the pool about 6 hours later to find the water level to just above the drains.
(Other caveats: pressure gauge is at a baseline reading of 25 when off. When it was on it was running about 35. )
There were no signs of where the water drained, all around the house and near the backwash area.
The previous forum on this subject gave a lot to consider, but no new posts in over 10 years.
Hoping this isn’t a shout into the void!
