Our pool was opened last Friday. We couldn't turn the pump on till we got the water refilled over the weekend. Got it filled, tried pump on Monday, wouldn't work. Took it to a repair shop Monday afternoon and have yet to even hear an estimate. Not to mention the time it's going to take for them to actually fix it.
Should I bite the bullet, buy another pump and just keep one as a backup once we get the other one back? My pool opened very nicely but it's looking terrible now. I've been brushing and adding chlorine but it's not doing enough.
I know $200 is a lot to spend, but seriously, it's almost worth it to me after the time and effort I'm going to have to put into getting it back in decent shape.
**I did call the repair place yesterday and they said "it's been looked at, but it's sitting on XYZ's desk waiting for him to price out the estimate". They said I'd hear back by this morning definately. Yeah, that didn't happen.
**ETA: My son's birthday party is next Friday night. I had the pool opened early so I could make sure it was nice and in shape for his party.
