After reading some other winterizing posts on here, I am starting to contemplate not covering the pool due to the hassle of the pillow and cover.If that's the route I go would it be OK to start now as far as getting the water to shock level with a slightly higher ph for a couple days and then drain below return and remove all the equipment?The temps here for the next few days are in the mid 70's but after that it looks low to mid 60's so it looks like the end.
There is only one tree near pool on the neighbors yard about 40-50 feet away, a large pine tree that on a real windy day may throw some pine needles or cones into it.
If this winter is like last at 60" snow,removing snow with a snow roof rake is not fun every 3 days.
For those that don't cover,can the snow just build up on pool and left to accumulate all winter without removing any?
I guess main concern I have is shutting everything down uncovered, and then have a water issue such as algae.
