Ok, just wanted to share.
This is the best forum!
We bought our house 8/2015
Paid the pool company "professionals" $325 to close the pool. (Plus the cost of chemicals that we bought)
April 2016- paid to have them open the pool.
Here is the breakdown:
* Took off cover- laid it on lawn to dry ( we had to roll it up and put away)
* dropped in ladder
* Took out plugs(dropped 1 in murky water and left it)
* Turned on pump
* Put in chemicals (again that we paid for)
$425 paid
- they did not test water, never came back to put in filters, and left cover on freshly mowed lawn.
--- also, murky green water they blamed on a mild winter
Forward to fall 2016-
Thanks to help from all you, we closed the pool ourselves in a few hours. Longest part was draining out some of the water.
Cost: $8.00 for chlorine
(Very mild winter, Warmer than last)
We were scared to open up a green mess.
Nope! Just some debris and dirty stuff.
Started pump, didn't drop any pieces into the pool, and saved us tons of money.
TFP rocks! And those "pros" should learn something from this forum.
