Well I was able to take the cover off today. It appears to be a tiled bottom pool. At least the first 3 inches. After that I can't see because the water is black. I have a friend coming over tomorrow to try and get the pump running and to get me started in the right direction. Paul, I hope your right. I know my son will love it when its clean!!!

Hello all, My wife and I recently bought a foreclosed home that has been vacant for 2 years. It has a small in-ground pool in the back yard that is only about 3 years old. I know nothing of pool care but I do have a few friends that know a little something about it. Hopefully today or tomorrow I will pull the cover off and look to see what I have. As of now the pool has a mesh cover on it covered in leaves. The good thing I guess is that there is water in it. Not really sure as to the color though. As for the pump and filter and all the goodies, I know I have a sand filter. Not sure if the pump works yet. I'm also not sure yet if it is a vinyl or fiberglass pool. Well I got a killer deal on the house, hopefully the pool will pan out also. Anyways I look forward to reading and learning from all you guys. Any help along the way will be greatly appreciated. Hopefully I can take pics of everything.
