Hi everyone,
We purchased a home back in September 2021 that we unfortunately due the market we had to waive inspection if we wanted to have the best offer. The house has an inground pool that was properly closed and has had a safety cover on it for at least 5 years according to the previous owner. I have been calling around and getting different answers from pool companies. Some say they need to pump it out and replace the liner and others say they just need to do a thorough cleaning to open it. It has been holding water just fine so it seems the liner would be still good? I hope. Would a liner be ok that long, covered with untreated water? I was wondering if anyone could share some insight on where I start on my own to get started? I’d prefer to have it in a state that I could get a pool tech out to see everything that would need to be checked by an expert.
