Unable to identify a component of my pool system
I have attached an image of the "well" (for lack of a better description) in my pool house. I have asked two different pool companies what it is and neither one knew.
We moved into this house with the existing pool 5 years ago. The well has never overflowed until this year. (Like much of the country we are really soggy.) I have hung a pump over the well to keep it from overflowing. (I pumped all the water out first - and it just fills right back up.)
We were afraid if we just let it overflow and sit it might damage the concrete foundation of the pool house. Also it doesn't continue rising to flood the yard it stops at a certain point.
The water is coming from our city water, I know this because our water bill last month was $198 and this month it is $245!
Someone please tell me what this thing is and it's purpose and how to fix it so I don't have to take out a loan to pay the water bill.
