Wednesday and all is well. After much confusion and the replacement of a few missing pieces of equipment, the pool works again. When we finally contacted the ‘pool guy’, he said, “We don’t use the bottom drain anymore. It’s just another hole in the liner and you don’t need that to make it work. We stopped using those about 5 or 6 years ago. Didn’t I tell you that?” No! He hadn’t told us; although in the back of my mind I was hoping that would be his response. I really didn’t want to empty that pool again.
After getting the good news it didn’t take long to fill the pool to the correct level and get the pool sweep installed; which promptly failed to work because of a missing (heavy) nose wheel. Now where did that go? Probably tossed out with the leaves of last winter. A visit to the pool supply place netted us a new (used) wheel for free and the necessary chemicals to make the pool swimmer friendly. In fact, after mowing the orchard yesterday afternoon, I jumped right in to test it. Ah!
