What do I need to buy

[coolperson]

I am moving into a home with a pool, and have booked with a company to open it on May 8.

I am trying to prepare myself. I highly doubt that I will be lucky enough to have a crystal clear pool after opening it. It has a mesh safety cover on, and I can’t see what the water is like.

The previous tenants did not leave many accessories or tools. I’d like to know what I need…

I have a TFPro salt kit coming. I bought a wide brush.

I saw a skimmer net, a hose and a triangular vacuum head. Not sure what condition they’re in. Is this good enough (assuming that I probably have a lot to vacuum up?) or should I buy something else?

Would a robot vac be efficient in vacuuming the pool after opening? I’m looking at the Aiper S1.

I’ve attached a photo. Can someone tell me if this is set up to be able to backwash or vacuum to waste?

Welcome, even if you were welcomed before!

Post a few more pictures, some from different angles.
It looks like you might be able to vac to waste - but more pics needed to confirm. That black valve in the middle of the photo appears to allow diverting water away from the filter, and instead to the gray adaptor. Is there a largish flexible hose (not the one for the vacuum head) coiled up someplace, that might go on the gray fitting? I'm guessing a cartridge filter, so no need to backwash - pictures and make/model will tell the tale.

What goes in the missing section that is currently plugged? I sincerely hope it is a Salt Water Chlorine Generator and NOT a tablet chlorinator. Post a picture of that, also.

Edit your signature here (under Settings) with all the equipment makes and models, along with your pool dimensions and gallons (if known) and type of construction (vinyl, plaster, etc). Note any special features, if any. List the TFPro kit also. Helps us a lot in future answering of questions.
Note that the pump actually has two identifications. There is a big, detailed label on the motor itself - that is just for the motor, we generally don't care about that. The black/clear plastic parts in front of the motor may list the actual pump make and model, although might be harder to find.

While I can't recommend robots, having never owned one, hold off a bit on that until you see what's up and get a little pool care under your belt. I've always just manually vacuumed my pool over the last 30+ years. Robots maintain a clean pool, but are poor if the pool needs extensive cleaning. What you have already is the way to start. Is there a long pole around somewhere (either very long, or extendable). The vacuum head goes on the pole. Note the brushes on the head - after a couple of years of sun and chemicals, they can tend to shed bristles very easily. The brushes on better heads are replaceable.
