Cloudy After Cleaning

[Dazed and Confused]

Thanks again PoolDoc. I fired the pool guy and hired the neighbors pool guy who has been doing their pool for 12 years and it looks great. Draining the water today. Will repaint with rubber based enamel since Im a middle of the road kind of guy. Neighbor says pool was just painted 3 or 4 years ago, my guess is with acrylic. The old water was so bad! I wasn't really planning on a big project like this but suspected it might be necessary when I bought the house. I guess this is what credit cards are for!

Sorry!

Hope you can get back in, soon.

I tried to post a new thread about this but was blocked. After draining the pool, I discovered it is 12 feet deep! Much deeper than the 8 feet I thought it was. And the shallow end is 4 feet, giving me a total volume of 33, 510 gallons. Oy, the water bill! Almost double what I originally figured. This seems unusually deep. There used to be a diving board so I guess it makes sense and I suppose they used to dig pools deeper than they do today. The house was built in '55 and I don't know the age of the pool. My learning curve keeps getting more steep.

Where did you try to post a thread? In this section?

I think I tried to post a new thread in the subscriber posts section. Probably the wrong section. I don't really do much posting in online forums, like ever. I wasn't thinking.

Yes, that section is only for paid subscribers, and is given priority when we get behind.
