A very similar story to one just posted. $300 to remove the cover and attach a couple of pipes. Boldt closed my pool last year. As the water level was not high enough to turn the pump on I was told just to wait until it was and then turn on. I did this but could not get the pool working correctly. After a discussion with the company they sent a technician. He said the line could be blocked. I didn't understand how and spoke with the company again. They wanted to charge me to have it fixed. Bottom line after much discussion and a return visit it was there fault as they opened the skimmer wrong.. Don't hire this company.
