Shred, the point is, he has not really checked out his equipment or pool interior. It's almost impossible to do so properly without opening the pool.

And . . . it's cheaper and easier to get repairs done in the fall when the pool season is winding down, then in the spring, when it's heating up. Putting off repairs that can be down in the fall, till spring, almost always hurts the pool owner.
