One year after having saved ourselves $8k and doing our own pool refurb. Never dreamed our biggest issue would be getting the water straight.
Spent $2k last year on chems and maintenance because the first pool guy took 5 days to get to our fresh water.
Second pool guy refused to believe TFP way works, bailing out a day (maybe even hours) prior to completing the SLAM.
So, we made the trip down (6 hours) to the house and pool from DC yesterday and we're going to get this baby opened and started back up! I have as many as 5 days, but prefer to get it right in 3. Possible?
Future maintenance will be the responsibility of our (new) tenant who moves in on Monday.
Given the time allotted, I realize we need to drain and refill the current swamp. That can be accomplished today with the aid of the fire hydrant across the street.
But before I drain (or during) I'm thinking we should go ahead and use the pool vac and brush the sides to get what grime and algae we can out so the new water has less to contend with. Good idea, or not necessary?
