Yesterday DH put the other filter on pool (earth filter) to see if the water would clear- we left filter on all nite- hopefully in the am the water would be nice & clear!!

Well, got up this am- looked out back- I blinked my eyes twice- I thought I was still sleeping--- NO WATER IN THE POOL! a small puddle down near the main drain! a hose blew off during the nite & empties the whole pool, 20,000 gal of h2o! We are re-filling w/hoses- hoping the walls don't pucker up in the sun! The pool is big 22X40-it will take forever to refill !! The hottest week-end yet- DO YA BELIVE IT!!! What a way to start the day- urrrghhhhh!

just had to vent $#@%%$#@!!!!!!

On no not fair at all,
Do use two hoses or as many as you have at once.
That will help a bit.
Hopefully it will be filled by tomorrow morning :)

sure does bite !! DH corrected me it is 30,000 gal of water !!! I was ten thousand off- whats the diff at this point !! urghhhhh

We could have a tanker truck deliver water- as we did when it was built-- I guess we are just toooo disgusted to even entertain that thought!

we now have 4 hoses filling-- but all the stinkin chemicals are gone- will probably have to spent $300 or more to get the water's chemical readings back to where it should be! Really, I was ready to say pull the liner out & smash the walls down & fill it in!! Too many stupid little things going wrong around here-- now DH & DS are in a huff at each other-- I love living in a house where there is stress- I am heading to DD#1- she is getting new living room furniture & I will play with Matthew & the dog-- at least no grumpy people there!! urghhh!
