Insurace Co paid and didn't whine (something about cost of pool vs 450K house).
So when taking a pool out of service be careful about ground water table.

That was one of the justifications for me to keep the pool a couple of more years 20,000 + water available. Got rid of mine cause of expense Too much time maintaining it and too little use. Now if I had some of my neighbors money I would have constructed it closer to the house and then enclosed it but I would then have the priviledge of sending the local taxing authority the price of a new car every year in additional taxes. Once the tax assessor sees a pool they KNOW you have money (or it sure seems that way
