Well Points or French Drain?

February 20th, 2003 · 1 Comment

I’m getting a pool put in as we speak, (non-diving, vinyl lined) and although I
paid for well points in the contract, the builder instead put a “french drain”
in. Am I being ripped off?

    Since Florida is typically flat, I’m not certain
    how a french drain would be configured to function.
    Go to www.NSPI.org/chapter_vii.html to find the
    National Spa and Pool Institute chapter in your
    area…talk with them (be nice now) and ask them for their
    problem resolution person. They should give you a pretty
    straight opinion. Peter
