    Cool Re: winter pool

    Borrott, aylad doesn't close her pool there was this thread last year. If that doesn't provide enough info for you, just ask here and I or someone else will be along to answer.

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries

    Just keep the chem levels where they normally stay....which won't be hard since as the water gets cooler your chlorine consumption drastically drops. Run the pump overnight when there's a danger of freezing. That's about it!! It's SOOO much easier than having to close and re-open again!
