After waiting over a year since signed contract (weather and high demand for new pools in the region), my new liner is being installed today. So far things have gone smoothly - lines pressure tested and no problems, pool bottom in good shape, while walls are definitely out of plumb, this is an aver 40 year old pool and everything has been stable since the last liner install 20 years ago.
The question: we are very rural. My choices for fill are either our own well water or tanker using local fire pond. Our well water has high alkalinity (150-160) and will be slow fill. They do have a mud sucker hooked up to the former main drain. The local fire pond is an algae infested incubator. Which also means driving heavy truck into the backyard -either leaving significant ruts going on the gate with the damp swale or through the other gate but over the septic system (definitely not desirable!). I'm inclined to go with house water, leaving the mud sucker and vacuum going and paying the $150 fee for returning for their equipment (the pool company is 90 miles away.)
Amy thoughts before I commit too a source?
