    Sound closing plan?

    I turned freeze protection down to 35 degrees f. I set the pump to run automagically from 2am to 6am. My thinking is keeping the pump running while we are in the coldest hours of the night will prevent any ice from forming. Criticisms, suggestions?

    What did you do to your pool today?

    Past four days I have: 1. Installed new rope return pulleys on my auto cover. 2. Adjusted the auto cover alignment. 3. Pondered why it still so sluggish when closing. 4. Tested chemistry and adjusted PH down. Next week I'll backwash/fill and probably shut down for winter.
