Pls note I have zero knowledge of pools.
Inherited with new home:
4 yr old IG 2800 gal concrete Pool/Spa. Hayward Omnilogic.
Immediately had to replace a pump (Hayward VSPR). We’re Unable to use touch screen. It doesn’t respond, so we can’t enjoy or configure any features. We’re supposed to be able to toggle between pool and spa, but it’s stuck on spa, so we shut off the heater. The Pool service tells me the screen it may have been hit by lightning and should be replaced. I contacted a Hayward tech, but he’s not familiar with how to replace it.
Secondly, I’ve been using a skimming net to remove tiny floating particles on water surface. Asking the pool service for help, he pointed out there is no skimmer?? In the equipment area, you can see into something where air is circulating in what looks like a basket - there’s no water, just a small leaf blowing around. I’m totally defeated.
Needless to say I’m stumped, but lesson learned - buying a home with a pool requires an inspection of the pool separate from the whole home inspection prior to purchase.
Thanks for listening.
