Hi,
I posted late last year regarding problems that I was having as a new pool owner:
green-pool-new-pool-owner-t16161-60.html
Had someone look at the pool a month or so back to make some suggestions re opening, his suggestion was a complete drain and refill. He gave me a quote on doing the necessary cleaning, chemicalisation etc, but he did not want to get involved in the draining.
I have just about drained the pool down to 10 inches in the deep-end, only to find that he no longer has the availability to do the work!
So, it would appear to be down to me. My plan for the weekend is thus to clean the pool entirely, remove any debris that I can from the pump, filter etc, and then commence the refill.
Are there any other jobs that I am overlooking prior to refill?
Would also appreciate advice on how I should go about this refill. My guess is that it is likely to take 4 days to fill my pool so, should I be adding chemicals at any point, or should I wait until the water is up to the skimmer level?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
