Is there a post out there with details for winterizing a South-Southwest locale pool?
We in the warmer climates are admittedly blessed to not have nasty freezing winters like those of you in the East and North. Last year I didn't do a darn thing to the pool over the non-swimming winter months except turn the SWG on real low (4 hours of runtime every other day and only 20% on the SWG) and just added acid to keep the pH below 7.8 when I would remember to actually check it. My Pentair system has anti-freeze automation which auto-magically runs all pumps on low speed when the air temp drops below 36F and the IC40 SWG has it's own cold water shutoff protection feature.
Thinking ahead, I'd actually like to have a more rational plan and I would love to hear some advice from the experts.
Perhaps the TFP Admin gods could bless us thin-blooded types with our very own sticky post for future reference.
