I’m not saying what I heard is correct, so I could’ve been given bad info as well. I’m just afraid of draining too much out.

I was told to drop the water level just below the skimmer line. The pool is 6 years old, and the return line is maybe an inch or 3 below that. So in total, I drain maybe 4-6” of water out. I have plugs for both the return and skimmer. I did use a pillow last season, but after a few weeks it...

Last year when I closed, I used a 24' pool cover for my 24' pool. The real issue is that the cover barely covered the pool (and didn't cover the skimmer at all) and ended up ripping, letting water and debris in through most of the winter season. My neighbor seems to use a larger cover with just...
