Our pool finally filled 52hrs later....we just had new diamond brite put on.
when we started everything up, a green type substance shot out of one of the returns and now we have a nice greenish stain on the new plaster i tried to brush it but, its not coming out.
it looks like green mineral??? the green around metal pipes/fittings, i think it might be copper???
and I on top of that....I was just checking the pump basket to make sure it didn't have extra rocks/plaster in it and I noticed a little stream of water shooting out of one of the pipes its a metal pipe (probably the same pipe that shot out the green stuff)
looks like a old copper pipe, all the other pipes are pvc....so it must be the return pipe. its right when it comes out of the ground and its a pin size hole....how should we stop it??? just checked its still spraying
hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July!!!
