Hi all,
As the title says I will (already have) closed the pool for a few months.
This is at the house in France.
There will be nobody there for months at a time.
Pool is 22k with Quad 60 DE filter, the pump (now single speed) runs 8 hours (12am-8am) and 2 hours in the PM.
Chlorinator is off now as the water temp is below 15c (60ish)
It's covered with pool cover on top of the water (plastic about 4-5mm thick) on top of that it's covered with a "shade cover" to keep debris out of the pool and off the cover (pine trees close by)
Water level stays the same, it gets cold but doesn't really freeze (or very lightly)
Will be installing a Intelliflo VSF pump in 2 weeks (and it will run 24/7 then) and therefor opening the pool up and adjusting chemicals to correct levels, I will be adding liquid chlorine (maybe to a higher level then normal)
What should I maintain as turnover rate in this scenario?
What are the best ways to keep it as clean as possible so opening it up in spring doesn't result in a week of "working it" to get the pool clean.
Thanks for the tips!
Merci
