Swimming pool repair

The Cherrybrook swimming pool repair is finally done. What a saga. The pool had been blowing bubbles out of its return pipe, but otherwise seemed to be performing fine. But investigating the suspected leak showed a leak under the bush near the poolside filter. Removing the bush, we found its roots had broken the pipe, and digging further we found a five inch diameter root from a tree near the pump had grown along between the two pipes, crushing them out of shape. Presumably the bush roots had caused the initial leak, and the water in the soil had attracted the other tree, which had grown the bigger root over the time since the first leak started. The moral is, don't have bushes or trees near your pool pipe work. And if you see bubbles coming out of your return line, investigate. Well done the Ray White Beecroft property management department for not ignoring this problem.
