    Winter cover preferences

    Thanks. I thought about that. I need to pump the water out of the pool if it gets too high by letting the water in Also, you are correct about the clean up. I open to a clean pool every year. Thanks for confirming my thoughts.

    Winter cover preferences

    I have a 21' round AGP. Getting ready to close for winter and need a new cover. I've used a closed cover in the past and removed standing water with a sump pump. I worked fairly well. Was wondering if I should get a cover that lets the rain water go into the pool. Then I don't have to worry...

    Closing - Dryco Pool Cover Drain

    You're right. I have a good little giant electric pump. I've always disliked the way the cover sunk down so low when I drained my pool below the skimmer. This year I will not drain the pool and take the precautions I need to prevent freezing in the skimmer.

    Closing - Dryco Pool Cover Drain

    Pool closing question if you use 55 gallon drum

    White powder in pool

    "I accidently put too much DE in the system. White powder appeared on the bottom of my pool. I assumed it was DE.

Spent hundreds of dollars draining and refilling my pool and adding chemicals because the "experts" told me it was dead...

    White powder in pool

    So, I'm assuming this will not work for me? I'm having a problem finding the right FAS-DPD testing kit. Do you know where I can get one?

    White powder in pool

    So here is the latest. I'm giving you as much info as I can. I have a picture of my latest FC Test, a picture of the test kit, a picture of the leaves that constantly drive me crazy, and a picture of the trees that they come from. I put a solar cover on the pool, mostly to keep the leaves out. I...
