Thanks, guys! I will say that I've had algae problems in the past when getting lazy about adding shock, but that's in the summer. Seemed bizarre to me that there should be an issue when the average temp will drop to 35 degrees. I will *definitely* come back here in the spring and figure out...

My pool cleaner guy is saying that he needs to add algaecide again -- that even though he threw it in when closing -- because the cover is porous, he needs to add in more at Thanksgiving and Easter. Is this a nice way to make an extra 50 or 75 bucks, or is this really going to help? I don't see...
