Well, thanks for your dedication to helping others, guy (and gals)!

Yeah, it's pretty easy to drain, I put four hoses in it to siphon the water off down the hill. Have spent the morning brushing the liner bottom and getting out the last of the water. I'm refilling and smoothing out the bottom liner right now.

The sand filter change was like $10 and 20 minutes of my time so I thought it would be better to get rid of any bad water in it that I could. No big deal to change it out.

I will order a K-2006 kit later today. Have to go get ready to go to my son's Baccalaureate right now.
