Hello all,
I am asking a question for a friend, so please ignore the info in the signature.
He has quite a large in-ground liner pool with a sand-filter, SWG, and obviously a pump. The liner has deteriorated and requires replacement. Unfortunately there will be a few months until he can get the job done. He is experiencing quite a lot of water loss (water leak) so the current thinking is to temporarily decommission the pool for about 5-6 months.
This would mean that he will not be able to filter the water, run the pumps, or basically do any maintenance on the pool for that period.
He has a couple of questions before going ahead with this:
1) is there any prep that needs to done?
2) being that the equipment is quite old (most likely 10+ years), is there any risk that the equipment will fail/break due to not being used?
Thank you!
