Hi,
I did the TFP methods all last summer with enormous success. I decided to pay a company $235 to close my pool with a full plan to figure that out and do it myself in the future. I assumed I would be able to figure out opening by reading a few posts here. Well, now its almost spring.
I was talking to a friend with a pool (a non TFPer) and he said I'm crazy. He suggested letting the company who closed the pool also open it in case they screwed something up and it would be part of their warranty to fix a frozen pipe if I wasn't messing around with it myself.
In general, is that the case? Do companies not get involved if a DIYer opens the pool after they botched a close? Also, I wonder how common it is to actually have frozen pipes (i'm in MD). I watched him pour a gallon of antifreeze in the pipes and they appeared completely blown out.
Think its worth paying a company a few hundred bucks to open this baby just in case they screwed something up or does that seem excessive?
Thanks,
John
