:Hi,
I purchased a home a pool and just had it closed by a service. I'm a very handy person but I don't trust myself just yet to close it. I typically don't have much luck with honest home service contractors as I typically see flaws in their work or dishonest fees very quickly. I'm hoping someone can guide me on what to check. In this case, the pool company left the cartridge filters in my yard after hosing them down and left without saying good bye so I will be attempting to check their work tomorrow. Here's what they did but please be advised I may not be using the correct lingo or have 100% understanding of what I see:

Thank you,

Here's what they did but please be advised I may not be using the correct lingo or have 100% understanding of what I see:
The pool:
- 40k gallon pebble tech
- SwimQuip U3 skimmers
- Sta-Rite System3 cartridge filter
- Pentair Salt Cell (I think its the IC40)
- Newer Hayward Pump motor 1.5hp
- Newer Rheem Heater
- Drained the pool below the jets
- Removed the skimmer baskets and float valves
- I saw them do something with piping in the skimmers but did not see if they blew out the lines or installed the plugs
- Installed the gizmos left behind my the home seller
- They left the salt cell in place and on which is causing me some OCD heartache as I know they need to be pulled out and stored indoors. Can it be left powered on with no flow like this?
- They installed the mesh cover but left a few loop locks unhooked. I can see they stripped two and gave up on three with one just left popped and un looped for some reason. I see no evidence of any penetration oil to help loosen these. I understand that the use of oils on these anchors will attract dirt but to not use it to loosen them and then clean the oil off?
- The loop locks they did secure are so far popped that 1/4" of thread is showing and the cover loops secured around the thread. It doesn't seem right especially since the threads are not that deep.
Thank you,
Patrick
