We've used those for 4 years now with no problems at all.
(I'll admit, my husband did a fair amout of worrying the first year!)

as would i...i guess the issue more so with me isn't the draining.but do it myself..i'm always tempted, but always give in and let the pool guys close my pool (i open myself) if they cause any problems due to freezing, they are bonded and insured..i'm not![]()
LOL. I call my service guy to close as well, for the same reason, and my worry is nothing compared to my wifes... which leads to more stress for me...Originally Posted by tenax
my wife appreciates that i am willing to try just about anything once (roofing my 3700 square foot root with 4 valleys, renoing my kitchen, building my pool shed, chopping down trees, raising my garage roof where it sank, repairing my water heaters).but she also appreciates that sometimes trying to do everything can cost me more than i would have saved..sometimes, a lot more![]()
I use my pool all year![]()
14'x31' kidney 21K gal IG plaster pool; SWCG (Saline Generating System's SGS Breeze); Pentair FNS Plus 48 DE DE filter; Whisperflow 1 HP pump; 8 hours hrs; kit purchased from Ben; utility water; summer: none; winter: none; PF:5.7
i wish i could do that...if it didnt' cost me a fortune for heat, i could actually go here until december before the snow really flies and it gets to -20 celcius..my ngas bill when i ran the heater into october got up to 300 for a month (heater ends up running at leat 12 hours a day at that point). i have a new heater now to replace my 23 year old beast so hopefully it's a bunch more efficient and will allow me to have a bit longer season!
Anyone found an online source for the "duck plugs"?
