Hello,
I am buying a home with an inground vinyl liner pool. Through the home inspection process I had the pool company that serviced the pool come out to inspect it. The pool has not been opened in what will be three years this coming spring. The vinyl liner was replaced three years ago. According to the pool company that inspected it this winter, the pump works, the cover needs to be replaced/remanufactured (Loop Loc Dura Mesh), the filter grid/nest needs to be replaced (Pentair DE Filter). The pool does not seem to have any leaks and the water is at operational level. The water is fairly green and mucky.
I have several questions but have been reading through the Pool School posts so I will finish reading there before asking more specific questions about what to do to clean up the pool and prepare it for opening in the spring. I would like to know what kinds of information I should ask for from the pool company that has serviced the pool. What should they be able to tell me? For example, I have no idea the capacity of the pool, the pump and filter information (model and other details). Any suggestions for next steps would be welcome. Thank you.
