Just happened to pull up this article today. Didn't think anyone would add more after my last comment? I'm sure no one will probably ever read this, either? But, here's my hindsight.
The engine was about water. The pool is about water. I was and am fortunate to have the resources to do what I did. I would do it again.
In ground pools always retain 85% of their water in the coldest winter. This pool holds 18,000 thousand gallons. Water below the freeze line of 42 inches in Chicago does not freeze. Pool outlet to dry line is 8 feet below ground. 6" line to street is dry until fire engine from fire department draws the water through it. Downhill gravity provides positive positive pressure to the pumper once flow is established. No pumps, no electrical, no brainer> just water. It was always about water. P.M.

Daily Horoscope for May 19
Scorpio
There are days when you feel you can't say or do anything right, but happily this isn't one of them. In fact, it's a wonderful day in which everything goes well and it's remarkably easy to get on well with whoever happens to be around. Not that you want to spend your time with just any old person. You'd much rather get together with some close friends or that special someone in your life.
