hi all, Florida resident here (if it matters). We are planning to close on a new house with an inground pool/hottub setup. I have never owned a pool before so I don't know the first thing.
Pool does not have a salt system, I don't think (but I'm very interested in putting one in eventually). It has the std stuff (filter, pump) and a propane heater. Owner says he has a laminated sheet of instructions how to move all of the diverter values, etc.
I am planning to try to do the maintenance myself and was just curious how much time I have once we move in before anything gets critical? I talked to a buddy and he says most of the work he does on his pool is during the summer months and not much is done during the "winter". This all seems a little overwhelming and i just want to make sure if it takes some time to figure all of this out that I don't hurt the system by letting something go.
thanks!
