I hired a pool guy. I pay him monthly, he doesn’t show every week (he’s suppose to). Sometimes he’ll miss a week and sometimes he’ll miss two. So he’ll show every 3 weeks but usually every other, but sometimes every week. I pay him for the month. I don’t know if pool guys missing weeks is normal? Am I suppose to pay when he doesn’t show?
Also, last year the filter was blocked. I kept asking him to backwash it but he never did. I felt as though I shouldn’t be asking him to backwash it, shouldn’t he get that done? I paid at the end of the year for a filter clean, but backwashing is suppose to happen when needed. I wash backwashing in between his visits in the end.
I know times are hard and I don’t want to be a pain but yesterday he showed up. Turned the pump on. Cleaned the pool and then left. Luckily I was home and so when I went out into the yard, I could hear the pool sucking air. The water level was so low and the pump running, no water was flowing over the waterfall. I filled the pool and turned the pump off. When I turned the pool back on, the flow is so little over the waterfall that it needs backwashed. How could he not know this? Or even fill the pool up with water, or that it was sucking air. I pay 150 a month and I would just like some opinions, please.
