Hi, my name is Beck,, I'm new to the forum and would be so grateful for any advice!
This summer I purchased a 20ft Intex above ground pool for my son. This is my first and I didn't do enough research beforehand and regretting it daily...
For the winter (we live near the NC coast with mild winters) I read it would be best to keep it full and add certain chemicals to keep it from getting ruined.
I thought I would have time to winterize it but that never happened so instead I removed the filter and hoses and drained half of the pool. I now realize this may have been a very bad move...
Even though I skim it as often as I can, I was never able to get the cover on so it's now filled with leaves, acorns and dead bugs...
Can someone please tell me what I should do now? I am not able to break down the pool and put it back up for next summer but would really like to salvage it if possible.
Should I put the cover on now and hope for the best or leave it off and keep on skimming?
Again, thank you for any help you can give!
Sincerely!! Beck
