Opening Pool First Time - A Little Overwhelmed by Pump System
I've been lurking in this sub, learning about the cleaning and chemical side of opening our pool for the first time. We're based in a pretty tourism-heavy area of Europe, and have received some outrageous quotes for opening the pool and ongoing maintenance over the summer, so we've decided to do it ourselves.
I thought I was pretty on top of understanding things and ready to start the process until I finally managed to get into the pump house. Now I'm feeling super confused. Everything looks so different to what I've seen in tutorials, and I still can't actually tell whether the pool is chlorine or salt. There's also a huge mineral deposit on the pump, which I'm assuming isn't normal. The pump itself is a "Saci Pumps Optima 100 M"
Would love some advice or even just some pointing in the right direction if possible. I've attached photos for reference.
