you will easily be at 15K (or would be in my area) for that. my 30' round was $11k and no walk in steps...that's without electric and bonding. First opening...first real thread. 30' radiant ABG with 4 coping.

Only bad part for us this year is having to replace so much water. It appears many people on the site don't even use plugs and just let the water pour out the return opening. That is what I did this year. I think it is even safer for us with a radiant pool than others, in regards to the wall...

Yes. We only have the radiant cover. Last year, I drained it below the skimmer, took off all the plumbing and inserted the return plug. Had a really slow leak through the return Eye last year. But I left the valve open so it wouldn't freeze solid. No issues last year.

Re: Northeast freezing pool and maybe incorrect closing Plug is in. Water now 2" below but ready for rain. Figured I might as well test 10/16 closing pH 7.5 FC 9.5 CC 0.0 TA 40 2/25 pH 7.2-7.5 tough to tell FC 7.0 CC 0.0 TA 90 Looks good to me. After wasting a LOT of water from the cover...

Re: Northeast freezing pool and maybe incorrect closing pumping today! THICK layer of ice on the cover....but there was a large hole that melted in it! Hope to get the plug back in with the rainy season coming...cover is much lower and therefore pushed much more water out than we thought!

Re: Northeast freezing pool and maybe incorrect closing Cover is getting tighter. Water on top is frozen solid so I can't pump. Just got 8" of heavy wet snow. Water still pouring out eyeball. tried pulling cover out of groove, can't budge it. SUCKS. Hard to remove this cover from the...

Re: Northeast freezing pool and maybe incorrect closing getting nervous now. Cover becoming pretty tight. Wife not happy. Won't do this again! i am trying to have faith in the Radiant pool design integrity.

Re: Northeast freezing pool and maybe incorrect closing Thank you all. Sounds like I have nothing to worry about. Greatly appreciate it.

Re: Northeast freezing pool and maybe incorrect closing Well, after sticking my hand in that water, it doesn't matter much. Doubt I can stand it long enough to screw the eyeball plug in.

Re: Northeast freezing pool and maybe incorrect closing bump from the inpatient OP.....will be freezing in the next day or so...again.

I am hoping I am worried about nothing. This Year I decided to leave the skimmer cover off and eyeball plug out. Winter cover is on. More water keeps going on top of the cover as snow and some rain (but not enough of the latter to pump off) that of course forces more water out of the pool...

Not to take over the thread but that's a good point re two speed. Mine is only a year old and runs 6-8 hours a day and my electric is killing me. Thinking I should replace anyway.

Re: Closing water level Will the water level this low be an issue?

Re: Closing water level Next year I'm putting skimmer cover and eye plug inside the pool and leaving water level high. They leaked a little but with the valves open that shouldn't be an issue.

I'm fairly certain everything will be OK. Last year I brought the level down to just below the skimmer, installed an eye and skimmer cover and plug. Left the valves open and they of course had water dripping out eventually and froze up. No issues. This year, I brought the water below the eye...

Yes, nothing yet this year though. 25 was it and then warmed up to 60. So cold the last few that it barely snowed!! other years we get slammed.

Two? No hard freezes. Pump running as usual.

LOL. Just realized mine shows 9:25 and yours shows 8:25 due to time zones. :)

Sorry. 9:25? No I didn't add anymore. Sitting at 16.5 this morning. Im thinking I should be fine. Sometimes I'm more worried about bleaching the liner LOL. Wife would kill me.

Rebecca is sending me another one.

Thanks for for the reply. Post 4&8 cover it.

Last night 17.5 FC and 1.0 CC Morning 16.5 and only trace CC do I need to add more bleach????

Forgot to add, pH is 7.6. Didn't think it would be too accurate with 14 FC

Ok. I like mine as it carries a good percentage of the leaves right off the cover.

Just noticed the other day. I have not had the pump running for the last three weeks. Sorry about the confusion. Yes, when the pump is off or I remove the gauge it is it 15. When I turn the pump on it goes over 30. Gorgeous day out, so I wanted to test and then remove the plumbing.

Thx. Will check in morning. Should be easy since the winter cover is on it and sun isn't affecting. Didn't like the 1.0 CC considering I closed last year using bioguard and was around 4.0 FC, i am still hopeful to open to a clear pool.

So glad I checked levels before pulling the plumbing for the year. My free chlorine dropped to 14 and I have combined chlorine of 1.0. I have never had combined chlorine throughout the year. I just added 1 gallon of bleach since that's all I have. Do I need to add more? Again, I brought it up...

Would you remove the spider gasket? i left it all outside covered with a tarp last year.

Six month old gauge now reading 15 when off. Turn pump off and it shoots over 30. I took plumbing off and there is flow and backflow as appropriate so I'm thinking it has to be the gauge. Anyone know of one that lasts longer than six months? heres the one I have TFTestkits.net

I use this one from harbor freight. Put right on top of my Rdiant brand winter cover. harbor freight water pump - Google Search - - - Updated - - - hmmmmm. Good thinking - - - Updated - - - How is is it with the leaves? mine sucks them right up.
