    Pool Temp and Opening

    I have opened with pool water that was 35. as soon as we know the ground won't refreeze we open. I run my pump on a low RPM 24/7 anyway so the water is always moving.

    Man I wish I can roll like that. I talked with my dad’s cousin who was my builder and we threw it around like for 5 mins during lunch the one day. lol. This winter I could have. Zero ice. Ice was off lakes by Feb also cause we were on our boats fishing by March first which is unheard of pretty much.

    I’m a big supporting of soaking in winter and early spring. I dose in December if I have no ice. I dose again Feb cause I open end of March worse case. It’s very easy to do. Once the nights aren’t in 20’s consecutive I open but I also run my pump 24/7 on a low low speed to keep water moving anyway.

    I am in the exact same spot as u. My water is 57 so my machine is reading 2200 only which puts it in very low mode but I know my test will be 2800 so I don’t want to make my unit “happy” cause I know as water increases reading will increase. I’m going to keep cell in and let it produce...
