First of all I want to thank everyone for the replies to my introduction.
I have recently come to stay with my mother-in-law while I transition to a move myself however, her pool has not been up and running in a couple of years she says that she needs a new system however, nothing has been looked at and of course my father-in-law before he became to ill he did all the pool maintenance and repair if it needed it however, I did live her with them for approximately 1.5 years before I purchased my own home close by. Now my father -in-law passed a few years back and the pool has not been up and running sense before he became to ill. My mother/in-law and her daughter drained it and cleaned it as he has taught us all however, when she tried to turn on the system she said it hummed at first then after shutting it off and back on it did not make a sound. And they haven’t bothered with it again due to financial problems. So now that I have been here I am working on it from what he has taught me and trying to get it up and running until we can figure out if it is the actual new system she needs or something we can fix. So I drain the pool again washed the liner and refilled it and thank god for finding this site because as I was read some of the threads I learned that I could circulate the pool using the sump pump I was using to drain it but to feed the hose from the pump back into the pool and then I shocked it and put a clorine tablet into a home made floater and that is where I am at right now. I will attached some before and after photos to see the process so but now I am not sure where to go. I do have a couple of extra pumps from a business I had and I would when she says new system is that the control panels or a new pump.
At this point how do I tell which was to go sense I have temporary circulation? The current system is listed below:
•15k gallon salt water inground with the sprinkler that goes into the pool & pool liner
•AquaStar II to control the solar pool & spa. She states that it has never controlled the spa though.
• Also they have the Hayward Aqua Rite
Salt Chlorine Generator
• PENTAIR Superflo high performance pump 1.5 HP
Thank you in advance for the help.
