I've got a few things going on during opening. First, I have a green pool. It's the very first time I've opened green. I'm not too worried, I'm following the plans outlined on this site. However, I do have a few other things. My drain plug on my pump housing is stripped out. Plan A is to fill the hole with silicone sealant and insert the plug. Plan B will involve a black rubber plug. Is there anything else that you have found that works on this?
My pool level is low on start. I know we had 5" less rain this last period my pool was closed vs previous year. Also, we had a long warm fall that could have led to more evaporation than usual. Should I be concerned about this? Most seasons water starts to protrude through the cover. This season, I was about an inch above my return line and never made it to the bottom of the skimmer. Let me know your thoughts.
