10 days ago the contractor swore up and down everything was normal. The construction supervisor agreed. The General Manager was sent all of the pictures and a sanitized very of the thread.
3 days ago, the crew showed up and fixed everything. I took 1/2 a day off to watch and work with them, to get it right. It is just about perfect.

Good old 'Mike' to the rescue (inside joke, I had a colleague call Michael that he just keep going no matter what, just like the Polaris).
Have in-flows in my new pool, best use of money, now I maybe vacuum the pool twice a year!!! always clean!! simply amazing.

Today is the first full day of summer, and the pool opens today.
It's been a good week...

Not to rain in your parade but after the pool is filled up for first time you should have it running for 3 days to a week before going in, let the filters and the chemicals do the magic.
