So we bought a house in November with an inground pool that couldn’t be inspected or opened due to the weather & we finally got the cover off today to see what we bought. As expected there’s a problem, hopefully not a major one but a problem. The pool was filled with leaves as the pool store told us when we bought the pool, the previous owner’s didn’t care & had the pool company winterize it. So we started cleaning the leaves out & I decided to pop the plugs to test run the equipment. The water level was really high so the local pool store suggested that I vacuum pool with the filter set on waste so I could drop the level & get rid of some of the Baquacil water so I can later start to convert the pool.
Once the water level dropped we noticed a wall that looks pushed out from the ground behind it, we also saw the liner popped out in two separate areas. At first I thought that I did it by opening the pool & maybe there was a damaged pipe but it looks like there is wear on the liner where it is pushed out. I brought the pictures to the pool store & they were less concerned than I was. Maybe it’s not a real big deal but I have to say that I am not feeling so great about our “new” pool now. Maybe the previous owners knew it was like that & didn’t disclose it on the purchase agreement or maybe they didn’t know it but either way we are now the proud new owners with some possible expenses ahead of us, again not a good feeling.
