Thanks Dennis. got it going - a few leaks here and there in fittings and one seemed as if it should have a gasket (didn't) so we found one from our old pool, used it, perfect fit and wa-la! no leak. Ran the vac, cleaned the bottom up, poured in MORE bleach, a bit of PH Down - we were at 8.5 (diluted then distributed) CYA powder in a sock (about 1/3 of recommended dose)- was at zero but we had a few trichlor pucks in a floater while filling.
We started working on the solar reel set up behind the pool, a bit more work on the solar panel racks, cleaned up all the various crap lying around, pulled out the solar blanket, put it on and called it a night. The vacation really helped - when it all seems overwhelming, take a step back, BREATH and relax. You get a new and fresh perspective and its all not such a neverending chore. The light at the end of the tunnel gets brighter all the time!
Picture just taken last night attached.
Beats driving to the lake!
