I'm sensing a general lack of well enthusiasm here. Haha! Just brought it up because it would be great to save the $100-300 to fill up the pool using city water (considering I will have to do it again later in the year).

So I should skip the painting and delamination fixes. Got it!

I have some more questions, but they are related to equipment so I'll post that in the appropriate forum.

Many thanks Watermom and PoolDoc!
