First off a big thank you to this site. This place and the pool calculator app have saved me tons of money and frustrations.
Alright, Im at my mother in laws place and her in ground pool (approx 1600 gal) is basically a swamp. We don't have anything here to test the pool. A leslie pool store is near buy. I'm leaving in about 24hrs. Now, Im taking an educated guess and going with the not much can be done option. If anyone has a hail marry to toss out I am all ears.
What I did do.
I cleaned out her DE Filter (it looked like the swamp thing), added DE, adjusted PH to 7.2 and have dumped 5 gal liquid chlorine into the pool and asked her to brush as much as she can and back flush often.
She lives in the Fort Worth, TX area and needs help with the pool for a few months. What is an expected price to pay for a pool guy? Does anyone have leads on a pool guy in the area? Her last pool guy took the money and ran.
Sorry for the ramble. Basically does anyone have a good pool guy that can help out an old retired lady or some kind go magic to send over? The other route I am debating is asking her neighbor if he's willing to become a pool guy, buy him a TF Pro test kit and pay the guy.
Thanks for any and all help or advice.
