Dazed and Confused…

[Tallfellow]

I bought a house with a 26,000 gallon in ground pool that had been abandoned for 7 years. Over the last two years I’ve had the pool renovated. The filter was good the ground lines were good, the walls were reconstructed, the liner has been replaced, and last year we filled it with water.

However my pool guy has been a disaster and so this year I am taking control of the situation myself.

I have a few problems to deal with and I am hoping to find the help I need here to have a pool we can enjoy this year.

So I perhaps over stated the positives of the situation. I was running the filter, 24/7 for most of the fall and I was losing water out of the pool at a pretty significant rate, 1-2 inches or more of water a day. I have two skimmers and a drain on the deep end and my concern is that somewhere in the piping I'm losing water. With the pump off, no problem, water level seems stable. My deep end is about 9ft and using a shop vac, I was never able to blow out that line. Perhaps this needs to be a new topic?

Yeah man. Title that thread up in the proprer sub forum, so the right people see it and can help.

Asking what your questions are would help as well
