Sudden Pool Project

Tweet

Well, it begins. So far this year we've had a fair amount of good luck keeping the pool in running order and the water a pristine blue. Granted, in the beginning of the season I did have to replace some hoses that had dry rotted. But since that initial "opening," it's been fairly trouble free. Until last night. We saw just a tad bit of algae beginning to form on the bottom, and so we were going to run the vacuum. Got it hooked up to the outlet and then it happened. A hole formed in the outlet hose, so I shut down the pump, cut off the bad piece and reattached it. Only to have a second hole form. Then a third. So, the outlet hose is shot and now I have to replace it. I do have spare, replacement hose handy, so that won't be something I have to trek out for. But it's still a pain in the ass and now I have... A sudden pool project today.
