We are moving into a new house this weekend. It has a pool. It was literally YEARS ago that I last took care of a pool (although, ironically, it was with liquid chlorine on some sort of "dripper" that I could adjust).
I've read Pool School at least four times. I've bought a REAL test kit like you guys recommend, and also have a few bottles of bleach, some Borax, and some Baking Soda.
When we inspected the house, the pool pump wasn't working and the pool looked, ummm... how shall I say it???.... NOT GOOD!
The polaris wouldn't switch on, either.
============
I'll wait as you get over your insane jealousy of my lovely ASTROTURF pool decking (I thought astroturf was limited only to political discussions anymore... sadly, I was wrong.
Here's a photo of the pump, filter, etc. area:
Yeah, so there's that. I have no clue what hp the pump is, or which way the water is going through all those pipes.
Anything else I can/should be doing between now and the weekend? Am I on the right track here?
I have some close-up photos of the individual pieces of equipment if that would help...
ANY ADVICE BEYOND BASIC POOL SCHOOL ADVICE ON WHAT TO DO WHILE I WAIT TO MOVE IN?? (Besides dropping the over-use of ALL CAPS?!?! And dropping the use of ridiculous punctuation?!!?!!??
