Hi all,
we have a pump installed in our yard that sounds like it was placed there to help with drainage. The water table is high and the previous owner had problems with the ground getting saturated and therefore the pool liner would "float". So, this year when we open the pool the liner was floating because the pump was not working. We pull the cord that I guess would get the pump up and it started pumping, and got all the water from the "well" out and also the water behind the liner. I hope this is making sense.
Now the pump seems to be running continuously. We had some rain, but it has been at least a week or 5 days that we had no rain. Since the weather is not hot I imagine the ground is a bit saturated but I do not think it is that bad. Anyone here can shed a light for me? We tried to pull the thing up and could not. The "well" where it is in is probably like 10 feet deep.
Thanks for any help. Be well
Miriam
