Closed Pool this past weekend

Sounds like you got it under control.

A couple things to mention in case you haven't done them; remove the pressure gauge from the filter and store it indoors and remove the drain plugs from the pump(s) to prevent freeze damage.

I'm going to try a couple products this year to help with closing the pool by myself (before I was able to do everything by myself except blow out the lines). Anyone try these before?

Jim, Thanks for the advice. The pumps were always stored inside, though the pressure guage was left on the filter. I'll pull it and store it. I currently have the filter and heater covered for the winter with a tarp.

Sounds like you did OK.
