Hey! Thank you guys so much for the input! I think the pump is OK so far, but come closing time, will ask DH to check the brushes, and we will replace them if necessary. I knew nothing about that! Fortunately, we may be closing as late as November or perhaps even December this year. Heat pump due to be delivered later this week....YAY! I swam 1/2 mile tonight after work in 66 degree water, and it was actually refreshing! Would like to start swimming earlier in the year though. Thanks again for all the help.
