I am going away for two weeks, and looking for advice on pool chemicals for when I am away. I usually just add liquid chlorine daily. I have my pump timer run 4 hours during the day, and 2 hours just after sundown (when I usually add the chlorine). I will be keeping the solar cover on, to keep...

The timer only controls the pump, not the outlets. Both the sub panel and timer are int he basement. The outlets are on a separate breaker. I have the electrician coming on Thursday to quote me on another project. I will ask him about the GFCI breakers and the grounding of the timer. I...

The timer is inside. There is no plug on the pump, it is wired directly. The switch on the left controls the pump, so I can turn it off, without going to the basement. the GFCI on the right is what I use to plug the Dolphin robot.

The panel is right next to the timer, in a short "UL" metal conduit. Then romex going from the sub panel to a switch in an outdpoor quadbox at the pump.

How do you handle the chemicals in between the last swim and when you close the pool? I am waiting until the water is below 60, but we are probably done for the year. I don’t want to throw a bunch of money in the pool, but I also don’t want it to turn green.

Thanks for the suggestions. Should I order a cover for my pool size, or go bigger? It is a 15x24 pool.

A small border of pavers and grass all around the pool. Except for the paver steps in the picture

Hi, This is my first year with a pool. It is above ground, with pavers installed all around it. What is the best way to secure a winter cover? I didn't buy one yet. But I am not sure I have enough room to winch it around correctly. Any advice?
