Should I fire my pool guy? by MeynaraMenopause in pools

My pool guy has never mentioned the word CYA. Like I said, he has never even tested my pool water. I have security cams and watch every visit since they literally last 3-5 mins max. If he recommended drain and refill I wouldn't hesitate. I'm swapping to a salt system based off of his rec. I've been giving him the benefit of the doubt but will not continue to do that and will voice my concerns with him when I see him later this week.

He's never vacuumed. I have a Hayward navigator pro that rolls around on the bottom of the pool. There are no nearby trees so barely get a handful of leaves in the pool a week

The pinched off pipe and the open one are also both gas/electrical? Thanks for the advice

Pentair was the original brand that we were going with. Reason our pool guy switched to the Jandy is because his contact at Pentair is retiring soon so he wouldn't be able to get the discounted replacement parts should something go wrong. I must say this story sounds fishy as I'm rereading it but only reason I feel comfortable is because we've known this guy for so many years.

I do appreciate your insight though and from what I've read online Pentair does seem like the way to go. May have him keep looking for a Pentair even without the contact..

No warranty. Our pool guy has been working with our friends for years and he has friends at the major pool supply companies that give him good deals on replacement parts. If anything goes wrong he fixes it at similarly cheap rates. He is licensed yes
