We bought a home this summer just east of Tampa, that we will be using as a vacation home until we retire. My Dad goes over once a week and adds chlorine (1 3" tablet and 1 gal. of bleach) He is in his 80's and does not want to test or do more, so I have no test data at this time. Since July this method has worked great, no algae all summer. The pool is inside a screen room, so it gets no leafs or bugs.
Now it is cooling off and he wants to know if he needs to continue through out the winter. I know the water will eventually get cool, but will not get cold, and I have turned the solar heater off.
My question is: At what temp. does he stop going over, or should he continue through the winter, and is there anything else I should do when we go down for Thanksgiving?
Thanks for the help!

PS, I will set up my signature once I get the test, and pool equipment data.
