Opening after Katrina

As for staining, the house sale disclosure said that the pool needed replastering, so I figure that it will get handled soon anyway. Oh, and I understand that the borax is to increase pH...I figured that by the time I had 50 or so cumulative gallons of bleach in the pool, I'd need some pH adjustment. I hadn't actually run the calculations to see how much would be needed, though.

It may be too late to ask this queston but just curious. If you plan to replaster almost immediately, why not drain the pool, drill you 4-5 vent holes (bottom of pool) and high pressure wash the inside. I understand the low water table but your vent holes should help prevent your pool from floating. That should drastically cut down on your expenses and perhaps upgrade to an aggregate pool finish..

I am also in SE Louisiana (Prairieville/Gonzales area) and I am wondering how everything went with this...?

Did you get everything fixed up? Which route did you go and how does it look now? If you're still around, it would be great to have an update!
