I guess my pool wanted to send me a goodbye gift. The bearings on the pump went bad 15 days before the closing on the sale of my house. Fortunately, I found another pump and replaced it on Monday. In the last two months, I have also had to replace the MPV on the sand filter and the salt cell. The new owners have a lot of nice new equipment on their pool.

Think of it as buying favor with the universe that the old owners of the new house did what was right on their way out the door as well. (y)

I wish. The old owners of my new house left me a dead robot, a VSP programmed to run at 3000 rpms, and dying shrubs around the perimeter of the pool deck.

Mine left me with a Hayward Super Pump that was sucking air, old brittle collapsed DE grids, PVC valves that wouldn't close, grey algae carcasses in the filter, and a retaining wall covered in scale that needed to be fixed and repointed. Quite a mess. (Almost done)
