Hi,
I had my pool closed thanksgiving weekend here in Canada. I've been meaning to post for some time but I didn't have a chance. Anyways, my pool guy only opens and closes my pool as I do all the maintenance and water balancing myself. I had cleaned the pool and done a backwash and cleaned out the skimmer basket and pump basket and made sure the water was balanced before he came but I noticed he didn't add any other chemicals to my pool. I had the FC at 9.5 ppm and was holding steady. PH was a little high at 8 but other than that he didn't add a thing and I am wondering if I should be worried? I don't know much about the closing process even though I have read everything here, it just seems like something I can't get my head around. However, after seeing my pool guy that day drain the pool, blow out the lines and do a few other things, I am not sure I want him to come back next year to close. I wasn't impressed. I paid a lot of money for what seemed like 20 minutes of work (he had two other people with him as well). Should I worry my water will be green in the spring???? Should I attempt this myself next year and save myself the money and worry???
