Pool Leak
Good news theoretically on the pool, and leak that I mentioned in a previous post. Again, this is theoretically---but it appears the pool doesn't have a leak. There was water running out of the drain tile under the pool, while the pool was being filled, so that certainly gave the indication that the pool was leaking.
Nathan did some "swimming" with dye, to see if he could find the leak, but that didn't show anything. After more investigation, apparently the pool fill line under the pool deck (by the diving boards) is leaking. So when the valve got turned on to fill the pool, it started leaking, and got in the drain tile.
Again, it is under the deck, so it is not an easy fix, but it will only leak when the pipe is on filling the pool. The good news is, there is an alternate method to fill the pool. You can fill the pool by simply filling via the circulation and filtering system.
So at some time, if the deck ever needs repaired by the diving boards, it should be dug up, and have those pipes replaced. But for now, we are good, and still set for an opening on next Friday.
