I live in Michigan...the winters can be rough. So I want to be sure not to ruin the pool we've only had up for half a season now. Here are my couple questions:

-I was wondering if we have to take out the stairs?

-What should my FC/PH/CYA be at before closing for winter?
I won't be able to add anything during the winter because I'm sure the water will freeze rather quickly.

-Are those pool pillows necessary?

-Any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!!
