How much closing a pool do I need to do?

[JimK]

I don't mean to take over this thread but I too have a questions about closing AG pool. The pool store told me to NOT lower below skimmer since it would affect the pool cover...Is that true??
ALSO and most important WHAT do I have to put in a 15' round pool?? I plan on buying polyquat 60, a winter pillow,skimmer plate, a winter cover, a submersible pool cover pump and NO chemicals from the store. How much bleach do I use? Best Guess Chart to Super Shock. My CYA is about 45.. Plan on closing in about 3 weeks...waaaaa....

I also created a thread about closing my IG vinyl pool but didnt get much response. Other than the couple of stickies, neither of which seem to apply much to me, there is precious little info about closing pools here.

As such, I guess I'll stick to my usual routine of using the same closing kit I've always used and has worked well:

I was hoping to see if there is a less expensive, but just as effective way of closing.

To the OP, I'd be glad to share my closing routine if it would help you.
