AVERAGE time & cost to DRAIN, Repair & Refill (a 15,000 gallon) pool (other pool company)

1. Labor to pump water from pool:                            $100.00

2. Cost of repair (materials & labor):                        $225.00 or more

3. Cost to refill:                                                             $0.00
   (let's just say you're not on a meter)

4. 1 Qt. sequestering agent to prevent stain & scale:   $20.00
   (should be added each time pool is drained & filled)

5. Add 10 lbs. Cyanuric Acid (Conditioner):               $30.00

6. Add Calcium Chloride to balance Calcium content:  $25.00

7. Add Chlorine, Acid & Bicarbonate to balance:        $35.00

8. Labor to return 4th day to add chemicals:             $60.00
                                                                      TOTAL:        $495.00(+?)

* This is a very realistic average.
KEEP IN MIND THAT IT WILL TAKE 6 HOURS TO DRAIN A 15,000 GALLON POOL.
THE NEXT DAY THE REPAIR IS DONE.
IT WILL TAKE A DAY TO REFILL.
THE 4TH DAY THE CHEMICALS ARE BALANCED.
It will take 4 days (at best) and your plaster may blister while exposed to the sun.
Also, if you have a water table the pool can pop out of the ground!
That's why it's better to do it underwater!
