    Pool Temp and Opening

    I have opened with pool water that was 35. as soon as we know the ground won't refreeze we open. I run my pump on a low RPM 24/7 anyway so the water is always moving.

    Pool Temp and Opening

    Man I wish I can roll like that. I talked with my dad’s cousin who was my builder and we threw it around like for 5 mins during lunch the one day. lol. This winter I could have. Zero ice. Ice was off lakes by Feb also cause we were on our boats fishing by March first which is unheard of pretty much.

    Pool Temp and Opening

    It should go pretty fast I did 53 oz in a sock this morning in like 3 hours. I squeeze every so often also. My water is 55 only. When I did the first set of cya when I opened the water was like 40.

    My pool was dirtier this winter also. Same amount of crazy worms but I had way more dirt. No idea why either. It was a wet wet winter that’s for sure

    Pool Temp and Opening

    I’m a big supporting of soaking in winter and early spring. I dose in December if I have no ice. I dose again Feb cause I open end of March worse case. It’s very easy to do. Once the nights aren’t in 20’s consecutive I open but I also run my pump 24/7 on a low low speed to keep water moving anyway.

    Pool Temp and Opening

    I am in the exact same spot as u. My water is 57 so my machine is reading 2200 only which puts it in very low mode but I know my test will be 2800 so I don’t want to make my unit “happy” cause I know as water increases reading will increase. I’m going to keep cell in and let it produce...

    Let’s see your water after removing winter cover!! *PICS THREAD*

    I might Nope. Get your levels and balance it all out. I once you get your cya to a normal level you can do an over night chlorine loss test to just make sure but if it’s clear you are good to go most likely.

    Let’s see your water after removing winter cover!! *PICS THREAD*

    Interesting. Interesting that is very hard core. When I pump out water I put it on my bench seat in deep end which is what maybe 17 inches deep from bottom of tile. I zero out every single winter if I didn’t add. Cause when I measure in winter I’m always like 2 or under by Jan ish.

    Let’s see your water after removing winter cover!! *PICS THREAD*

    Even when I close close to slam level with all the rain we get and the water I take out I still dose liquid 1-2 times in winter to keep it clear. Just in case. I throw my pump in the deep end with a 4 foot hose. Let it whip and pour liquid over it. That stirs it up in 2 hours throughout the...

    Horrible cloudy water on opening. Shame. Shame. Should have opened 2 months earlier. Lol Kidding. Stellar water already! But those worms! When I opened this year I ran the bot under the cover all day while at work I came home to a bot that had worms hanging out all over any seam on the unit...

    iC 60 and cold water

    Yes I usually keep it off but they must have turned it on when they opened my pool and I missed it so I turned it off. I told them don't turn it on but the new "owner" said "oh keep it on". I said no and they still kept it on. it's off now like it should be. yes I knew it was hit or miss with...

    iC 60 and cold water

    I also only believe my test kit but I also light to run the salt level as low to make the cell happy and if I don’t have a reading I can’t get a random idea of how much more to make it happy.

    iC 60 and cold water

    I got a red cold water light. So that mean salt will come up zero on ScreenLogic? Last season I had readings till I shut it off. That I know. So with a cold red water light I get no salt reading right?

    Guys my water is too cold to run my salt cell but when it is turned on should I still have a salt reading and obviously the cold water shut off? I swore I still got a reading last year in cold water but I might be wrong. Thanks jim

    Return/Winter plug came off

    Happened to me one winter. Happened cause ice pulled it out. You need those wings to be up and down vs left to right. Helps prevent the ice from pulling on them. The wings up and down slices through ice. I got lucky and mine popped out when ice was coming off so we blew the line out again and...

    I stopped adding poly when I close. With closing really late when water is in low 50’s and opening with water still in 40’s never should be an issue. Just close it at slam level and u should be good.
