Seller Responsibility for Pool Pump?

[Mark Smith]

We closed on a property in December, and along with the house came an in ground pool. The seller's only held the property for 7 months or so and I don't believe they ever ran the pool pump. When we first looked at the property the pool barely had any water in it, and the sellers never spoke to the functionality of the pump.

Before we closed the sellers installed a new sump pump and ran it through the pool pump, and it is consistently pushing water through the pump and out the drain at the bottom of the pump. Our concern is that the pump won't function come spring, we're worried about he lines freezing and breaking, or internal components of the pump being damaged.

So the question is, do we have any recourse against the sellers if the pump is not functional come spring? Or did we lose out since we didn't bring it up during inspection? Any attorneys out there that can chime in?

If you did not inspect the pump or address your concern prior to closing and the sellers were not aware of a problem the pump is your problem The cost of a pool pump is under a $1000 bucks so an attorney solution would be cost prohibitive
