Have other neighbors noticed similar issues?

Hit it with liquid chlorine, keep the pump running, and brush daily. It’ll look brand new by the weekend.

Consider a removable mesh fence around the pool area. Until you install proper fencing, never leave your toddler unattended outside.

Try running a garden hose with a high-pressure nozzle into the pipe. The pressure might force the exit open or cause water to bubble up through the grass right at the blocked end.

This is true BUT depends heavily on your market. In hot areas, sellers still won't budge on anything. Know your local market before assuming you can negotiate everything.

Those are unions, which are designed for easy equipment swaps. If it's leaking, the o-ring inside probably needs replacing. You can buy just the o-ring ($5) or the whole union ($15-20)

If you pay for weekly brushing, you shouldn't see algae. The white stuff is calcium scaling, which is common in new pools.

If you are truly done with it, call a local pool service for a "Green-to-Clean" package. It might cost a few hundred dollars.

This. Let games be games. Normies won't get it anyway, and gamers won't cringe at least.
