Hello! So happy to have found this forum. About to close on a new to us home. It has an existing pool that I believe the present owner gets serviced weekly. Very excited but overwhelmed. I'm wondering if anybody has tips on what they did in this situation?
1. Should I ask the owner to walk me through what his system of care has been?
2. Do I need to ask which pool equipment comes with pool, or do owners normally leave their skimmers etc? Should I have this included in the paperwork?
3. I'm determined to use the TFP method and maybe I'm overthinking things but what usually happens after closing on a house. Should I remind the owner to cancel on his pool guy? Or should I keep the pool guy for a few weeks until we get all settled in and then buy the proper chemicals and kits? Apologize for so many questions, I'm an over thinker and freaking out a bit, I have friends warning me that pools are a nightmare to upkeep and they can turn green overnight (I've decided they're not invited to my first pool party with TFP sparkling water teehee) Any input would be so appreciated. Thanks!
