Need MORE info than STICKY has PLEASE on closing AGpool

[BigDave]

Also:
There are gizmo devices for AG skimmers.
I did remove the weir and the skimmer basket.
Aquadoor requires that you remove your skimmer front plate (and your skimmer) to install which requires lowering water level below your skimmer and you run the risk of the liner slipping awat from the skimmer - Low risk but possible.
If you use a solid cover, you will need a cover pump and you wil neded to monitor / maintain the water level on the cover throughout the winter.

Ok guys I think I'm set in my mind what to do when I finally do it!! Will shock and use polyquat but wont run filter once polyquat in..right?..Have my son or DH put plate on so can leave level up like Brothers 3 suggested. Hayward DE filter apparently came with return plug with inside pool which we will remove eyeball and install. Have them..tie pillow to middle, put on winter cover and use wind guard 5" cover clips all around. I guess filter needs to be drained, the cloth in it cleaned, hoses disassembled. Will keep tank in garage and perhaps motor in house. I will have the 'men' check values and do all that mechanical stuff...lol...And I should be fine!!! Oh also buying a submersible cover pump...
BUT like you said Dave, if I open to green, I do know what to do!!!
THANKS

Why wouldn't you run the filter after you add the polyquat? I do.

[mroll]

OH I thought I read here somewhere that you shouldn't??????????????Would filter it out????
OK then I can, I guess...easier

[Watermom]

You should put the filter or recirculate after the polyquat is added or it will be filtered out.

I didn't know my filter has a recirculate mode..I will check it out...Thanks
