    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!

    Most all the online sites sells them. But they don't call them Duck Plugs. For instance, intheswim calls them One-Way Winter Pool Valve. Just browse for products listed on sites under the winter pool closing section.

    It was late I guess when I posted that.. Anderson allows you to buy them from them but they have a $45 minimum. I'm always pressed for time like everyone else so I went ahead and bought a handful. Now to figure out dealing with my skimmer!!
