    Just remember that Polyquat lowers FC especially if you add a large amount, like a quart.

    Thanks Carl. So since I do not have an algae problem and since I plan to use a winter cover, should I bring chlorine to maintenance, just above maintenance, or shock levels? I assume from both your and Watermom's sticky posts on pool closing that it needs to be closer to maintenance level when the cover goes on so as not to damage the cover?

    No. I am still waiting. I just want to know whether i need to chlorinate to shock level to close, even if I do not have an algae problem. Thanks!
