I live in WNY and have key mine up the last4years with no real issues. I stain below the intake valve, dump loafs if chlorine in and close it up with a covert. All mechanics and houses get moved into the barn.

Same here. Called all around, nothing. Evaded up getting regular bleach

72 degrees with solar cover on all day. really want to jump in as it was over 85 and humid near the Buffalo NY area yesterday.

Re: Cover sunk into AGP during storm, can I leave it til spr Thank you. I think I am just going to leave it, drain in the spring, bleach and clean and then refill.

Not sure where to put this but I had closed my pool. everything crystal and done according to Pool School. Then we had 70 mph winds through our valley and pool is covered in leaves on bottom as cover blue into pool! :-( I do plan a drain and refill for next year now, should I just leave as is...

I am in WNY as well and final closing will be done today and will look like yours. :( Even though we have had some nice days the water is too cold to get in ( I tried). Let's hope next summer goes longer. We never had our Indian Summer, I kept hoping.

Do you keep it outside or inside? I would like to put outside behind the house where it is less windy from the open fields plus we can get in and out of the garage and not soak the floors.

Not yer, we have had lots of other things happening here. Kids are moving back from Florida so been house hunting weekly/ daily. Daughter's husband transferred so that takes precedence. Still hunting craigslist but have received some emails for inexpensive ones/ discounted online. I still...

I am doing the same. I took several of the bleach bottles and ties them together and then plan to put those under the cover. I also have one of those pillow things but the neighbor said the bleach bottles work so much better. It ends up moving so the water does not totally freeze I guess (he...

Just an FYI. Big Lots is selling all outdoor "things" 75-90% off. I picked up enough landscape edging to go around my 20" round intex for under $20.00. It is the kind that comes in 4' lengths and you pound it into the ground with stakes already attached. I am excited as now I can actually...

Well got all the way into the pool yesterday. It was humid and 90 here. Pool temp up to 76 top and 72 bottom of pool. Did not matter it was to hot to stay out. Today rainy and humid. Supposed to go into 50's by tomorrow but I am holding out closing my pool as we have yet to have Indian...

I am at a measly 70 degrees but I did get my legs in there today as the temps went to 88 here. Our last few wvenings have gone 50 and below but today was like summer all over again and tomorrow the same. Hoping to get all the way in tomorrow.

Good idea. I will use a super large plastic garbage can with a lid and then use duct tape to keep critters out for the pool itself. For my poles I will use a separate garbage can and all tools, hoses, plugs, etc. associated with the pool are kept in there. My filter I cover with large...

A tip my neighbor gave me and it worked wonderfully for her was to use baby powder and sprinkle all over the poll before folding up and storing. She said it made her life so much easier this year opening it up, no sticky spots and any left over or residual water was sucked up by the baby powder.

Well double blessings and thank you and of course she is the Commander in Chief at home. LOL I will need to look for the metal landscape now for next year. Maybe I can find it on sale. I know what you mean about the weed whacker. I end up doing so by hand. ugh. Like your wife I vacumn 2...
