The Pool Nightmare Finally Ends!

Well I finally made it back here. 

The pool has been a bear to get set right. As mentioned before, I had a new liner put in. That liner came down within hours of it's installation. The guys came back and put it up again, no problem. Started filling it that afternoon, Debbie and I decided to go out that night, so I shut off the water. 

The next morning the backyard is a swamp and 1/2 the water is out of the pool. What a hassel. I call the installer again, he comes by the next day and finds a cut along the seam. It's a new liner so I can either get it replaced or fix it, my call. I make the wrong call. I tell them go ahead and fix it so it will be ready for my daughters High School Graduation party. They put on the patch, I start filling the pool again. 

The next morning the pool water level is lower than the night before, I hit the roof, more mad at myself than anything else. I call the pool installer again, the owner comes by this time, applies another patch and tells me that he will order me a new liner. At this point it a losing proposition for both of us.

The liner finally arrives after the July 4Th weekend . The installers come by and put it in. Do you know, every 15 minutes I checked the water line to make sure I did not have any new problems. Thank goodness, it is just perfect. I finally have my pool back, it looks great and sooo relaxing! 

My advice, if you get a new liner and it leaks, don't waste one moment, have it pulled out and replaced, it is not worth the aggravation.

I want to thank Bret at Aqua Pro Pool in East Brunswick, NJ. He is a great guy, and did all the right things to make this a happy ending.
