Mushy bottom (the pool, not me)

[pool newby]

HRSDENNIS,

I will check the area good tomorrow after donning some goggles. However, I'm really hoping that I don't have a leak, especially since the pool is so new. And I really haven't noticed losing alot of water, I'm topping off at the rate of about 1/2 to 3/4 an inch a week, but have attributed that to temps in the mid 90's and evaporation. And I also upgraded to the 25 mm liner, it's also on the opposite end from where the kids normally play. I did notice the area after I backwashed yesterday. I didn't use the backwash hose, just sprayed it out the backwash tube and it was kinda in the same area. In your experience, could the ground have soaked up enough water to transfer to the bottom underneath the pool. I didn't notice the area near as bad today, so that kind of has me thinking it was due to the backwash (which I did longer than normal,....I also removed the drain plugs from the pump impeller housing to drain that area, as I recently had a problem with sand from vacumming clogging my impeller).

thanks,


Bob P
