my pool has 3 LED lights in the side wall about 6" below the return ports. Do we have to drain the water level below these when closing for the winter?

Also... should the cover remain off during this entire process?? We usually put it on every night to maintain the water temp. But I might think this could also not allow the FC to disapate.

I was thinking I might need to go there and shock it good, but the low PH had me a bit baffled too. Pool is only a year old so the filter in in real good shape. Is it safe to swim while the SLAM process is being carried out, or should we wait till the FC is down to a certain level??

Thanks. Heading to the Pool Calc to get the quantities. I have yet to add any CYA. Should I bump this up too? Also, Dave mentioned possibly shocking the pool since its new. Any thoughts on this and if so, how should it be done?

Just finishing the construction of our first pool! Love the forum and all the info, but Dave encouraged me to post my first water test results here to see what folks would suggest. Water has been in the pool for several weeks during construction. Pump has been running about a week and we just...
