I can't even begin to put into words the frustration I am experiencing with the pool and the back yard. Actually the pool is fine except for the one night the Polaris booster pump line broke and drained 1/3 of the water. That left me speechless for a while. Nothing $400 in water and a $6 part can't fix.
The pool becoming "dirty" from the rain runoff is something I've become quite good at dealing with. Run the pump 24/7, backwash often and constant vacuuming since the Polaris won't work because it gets jammed from all the dirt in the pool. After 2-4 days straight of non stop cleaning it looks as good as new.
So.....call our GC and landscaper and come up with a plan to fix once and for all the water drainage. Can't wait for no more dirt in the pool, no more backwashing 24/7 and finally get on to enjoying the pool. Mind you we've made no major progress on the interior, we are still in the selection and design phase of the project. We literally roll up with our cooler, set up our folding table and chairs and use the portapotty in the driveway when needed. Nothin' but first class for us.
Landscaping and a few tweaks to the drainage happen on a Monday afternoon. Major rain comes Wednesday night and here its what welcomes me as i turn the corner....A few before and then the after.
