Local pool boy wants to earn my business.
Spring Opening...
pump off rain water from cover
brush off winter cover
remove winter cover
fill pool to proper level
put pump and filter together
first vacuume
add chemicals

All for the everyday low price of $225.00

I did all that myself thanks to what I have learned here for less than $25.00 Thanks TFP and Pool Mom...If not for all of the advice I get, I would be paying some slouch $225.00 to do something I did on a Saturday and had fun doing it!!!
 
My personal opinion is to write that $200 check to PoolMom! (the $225 minus the $25 you spent!) :whip: You could not have done it without her! (at least this year!)

I am sure she will split it with the other mods! :mrgreen:

Never mind writhing her the check, on reflection I realized all she did was insult you and the rest of us are the ones that helped you! :handwave: 8) :lol:
 
Hey Beave :wave:

Keep most of that money saved in your pocket, you earned it by coming here and learning how to properly care for your pool yourself! :goodjob: However, I would suggest spending $30 of it to support this site which has saved you that money link :wink: 8)

See you down in the VIP lounge :-D

Sounds like a good suggestion...Anyone I meet who owns a pool or is even thinking about buying one I send here.

I think the ONLY advantage to having a service company do an "opening", is to those owners who are unable to remove the winter cover without spilling the season's cover-top garbage into the pool. While $225 is a bit high for my market, it is one of those situations where you would pay someone because you did not want to spend the time doing it yourself.

Otherwise, the great advice and experience on this forum should indeed put that $200 into something else, like a steak dinner for us all! :mrgreen:
