What are the potential dangers of opening the pool late. I read where some people don't want to open early becuase of oak tree pollen and I am in the same boat.
I have a loop loc mesh cover so rainwater does get in and I live in Alabama. The temp. is already in the mid 70's I realize that algae is probably setting up in my pool. However, I would really like to wait another few weeks until all the pollen has fallen from the trees before I open because the pool won't truly get used until late May anyway. Is there a risk of staining the liner? I just figured that if I'm not doing permanent damge to the pool I would rather spend an extra week getting the algae out and the water balanced in mid May as opposed to opening now and battling the pollen and other debris that will fall in the next month.
Advice?
