We've had this house a year, and so far have just continued to use the pool maintenance person that the previous owner used. I'd like to take over the pool care myself, though. In fact, my twin 6th graders are going to learn with me as part of their homeschool studies--pool chemistry with real world experience! Any tips on phasing out the pool guy? Should we spend a couple of weeks practicing doing the tests, reading through the pool school sections on TFP, and reading manuals for our equipment and then just let him go and go for it ourselves? Or is there a way to more slowly take responsibility over the care of the pool? I'm nervous! But he only comes once a week, and I'm pretty sure we can do as good a job with a few minutes per day instead of his hour or so a week.
Any tips appreciated!
