Pump is pumping!! I had to remove the pump amd turn it by hand to unfreeze it! I need to replace the rubber gasket between the pump and the basket now. What is that called, and is a pool store buy? Next is to start removing the leaves. I am going to give that leave thing i have a try, and...

Does it work well? I need to buy the bag.

I didn't unplug the returns or the skimmer, should the motor turn on with no water flow? Do i just add water to the basket near the pump? I am going to try again tomorrow. Thanks for everything!

yea everything looks old to me also, maybe the sand canister looks the newest out of everything. I have more pics i just seem to hit my limit. There is a basket with a screw init. I know it needs to go on the outside of pump basket thing. Yea the motor does not seem to spin at all, i'll try...

Thanks for the tips! It does seem like we have similar scenario. You have a little jump on the pool opening, i will catch up sooner or later! I bought a power washer for my fence, and pool area. You may want to consider buying one, by the look of it you have a large fence. My pool/fenced...

Piku i just read your posts, how are you doing? If my plumbing is at all functional i will be vacuming to waste and tackling the liner pull, while messing with the water chemistry, while messing with my run down fence, while working on a bathroom, while getting my 70's finished basement...

Of course i didn't have it inspected! This is my first house, and pool. Live and learn. I think i am going to try and fire up the pump this week, either tuesday or wednesday, when the weather finally breaks around here. I will keep this thread updated, i am sure there will be issues.

Thanks waste! I justed moved into the house, lots of other projects going as well. The pool hasn't been open in a couple of years, and i was told by the realter that the liner is 2 years old, i don't believe it to be that new, maybe 5 years. I just took the winter cover to check the condition...

Well I uncovered my project for the spring and for springs to come! To my supprise, the only major concern i have right now with the pool is the liner pull in the corner. I understand the water is really yummy too, but i think we can get it cleaned up! The fence and surroundings is another...

Thanks sean and waste, i'll check them out. I believe you greeted me yesterday, but hello again. Thanks

Thanks everybody for the warm welcome! I will be posting some specs and pics soon.

Thanks John, i saw your posts on the poolforum also. I found the poolforum first, but the site is closed. Thanks for the advice of an early opening. I am hoping all major parts are functional, i have my fingers crossed. As i learn what i have i will post and see if anyone else has any info...

Hello all! Just purchased a house in good ol RI. It came with a 16x32 IG vinyl pool. Here are the details. Pool is around 30 years old, i was told liner is 2 years old. Pool was not open last summer. The filter looks to be somewhat new and i found a receipt for DE in the house from 3-4...
