pool openings

[Chuck A]

how much do you guys pay, , this will be my first IGP opening, he said they connect all the equipment, add chemicals, vacumm, and make sure its all running right, the price is 300$ is that too much, when i did it, it was fairly easy, but i never did it with an IGP, am i getting robbed?

I don't have one but do have a in-ground hot tub and I pay $0 to "open it". :D

I know my idiot friend is able to open his each year by himself. If he can do surely you can learn how.

IGP= In Ground Pool
Reconnecting all the fittings, and such, adding chemicals, swimming, having fun, do you hear me now:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

finally, i guess we have a smart person, yes i agree but since they put glycol in my lines, and capped all the lines, and filled them with air, i wasnt hear to observe, so i really need to ask

Think of it this way:

You are going to need about $100 or so in chemicals. It is going to take you about three or four hours of your time. Is it worth $50/hour of your time to not mess with it plus the piece of mind knowing it was done correctly?

What I would do is closely watch what this guy is doing, ask questions, and take notes (act like you are texting to somebody on your phone if you want to be covert.)

Next year you should be able to swing it yourself easily, maybe get a friend or your wife to help out.

I'm guessing prices vary by region. I recommend calling a few places and see what they charge.

Well i am using the people who installed it and also closed it, they usually do it when i am at work, and of course the wife doesnt watch, so i really have no clue what they actually do, so i told them that i needed to watch, and they keep giving me the run a round about that they need to reschedule me, i told them its OK, as long as i am their to see what they are doing.

I ended up getting it done for 200$ , the water was crystal clean, now the cement/paver work is being done:hurray:
