I have had my 24' AG pool for a few years now. I have never removed the weir, nor used a Gizmo or Aquador. I live just north of Atlanta, GA. It usually doesn't snow here.

Why would I remove the weir? I drain my water below the skimmer and return, so any water in the skimmer would be the result of rain / dew. I thought the Aquador was for people that wanted their water level to stay higher.

Also, CarlD. You mentioned in the sticky post about removing your multi-port valve and placing a trash bag over the opening. Can you please explain this in a little more detail? I have always left my multi-port valve in place, outside on the filter - something I never liked doing.

Thanks!!
