So the previous owners of the house closed the pool before we moved in, and in doing so, they lowered the water level in the pool quite a bit. (The pool guys who came ot open the pool yesterday explained that this was not necessary and showed me how to avoid doing this when we close it.)
We have a water softener, and as I'm trying to fill the pool, the softener wants to recharge every couple of hours, which is becoming tedious and it's going to take me a couple days to get the water to the correct level at this rate! Can I just turn off/unplug the softener, then recharge it when I switch it back on? It's a Kenmore unit, and I can't really find anything in the manual addressing this issue.
Thanks for any advice. Unfortunately, there were a couple holes in the pool cover and the water is filthy, so it's going to take some time to get the pool swimmable as it is and I'm anxious to get it filled so I can move on to filtering, etc.
