Pool Closed - But Then Opened

Happy Sunday! Not. Our pool is temporarily closed. Apparently, a substitute guard left the back flow valve open last night. I'm not a pool expert but I think that's not what you are supposed to do. The pool water drained out all night long and at 9:30 this morning we discovered an almost empty pool. The good news is that we caught it before all the water was gone, so our pumps, etc were not damaged.

The even better news is that now we are filling it with sparkly, clean, clear, COLD water!

Bad news - the pool is closed until we can get it filled and the water chemistry correct. We expect that to happen around 2ish today. I'll send an email and post on Facebook as soon as it's swimmable again.

Here's a photo of the pool at about 9:45 this morning. 

Ps. Thanks to Faith Nassar for calling us this morning to let us know the water was gone :)  


UPDATE: 1pm

The pool is open and the water chemistry is all good! We just tested it (again). Only issue is that it is half filled. But at least we finally have the zero-entry pool, with fountains, that we've always dreamed about! For a few hours, anyway. A guard is on duty and there are kids playing in it now. There's no jumping allowed - you have to walk down the dry stairs. Should be full later today.

Below is a photo. Come join the fun!
