Okay it was more than 2,000 gallons. Had the pump off and on yesterday, didn't want to leave it on when I was away, drained about 6 inches down. Turned it on since 10am this morning, and still several gallons to go. My water level under the cover dropped below the return. Looks like the weight of all the water on top of the cover pushed it up and out thru the top rails. Have a bit of wash out by the base, will need to back fill and do some landscaping, it looks terrible. Looks like we had some sand washout in one 12 inch spot. Since the water level in the pool dropped, it allowed the cover to collect even more water. The air pillow deflated, so what started as 6 inches from the top rail to the water level has turned into almost 18 inches... the last time this happend we thought we had a leak in the liner.
So I peeked under the cover and it's crystal clear, I can see the bottom liner perfectly, smells a bit like Chlorine under there. Crystal!
I want to get the cover off and get to filtering, before my clear goes to green and before the birds start dropping their babies poo in the pool like the last two years.
I know its early, but what the heck? First warm day I'll crank that heater and we'll be swimmin'!
