It does freeze here- Minnesota. I had someone else put both the skimmer and the return on and I'm not sure how to get them off. The skimmer I can figure out, but the return- I'm not sure how to remove it.

I actually already printed that off and was using that for the closing of the pool, but I didn't see the answer to my question in the winterizing instructions. I just read through it again to see if I missed it, but I'm not seeing the answer to my question there. Sorry- I'm specifically...

Hi all- This is my first winterizing and I thought I read somewhere that you remove the hoses/clamps from the skimmer and the return, but that you could leave them both in place for the winter- just make sure the winter cover is covering them both. Now I can't find that instruction and just...

Thanks for the help- so very appreciated:)

Hi all- I have a question about balancing the chemistry of my pool before closing. This is the first summer I've owned the pool and the chemistry has been pretty stable up to 2 weeks ago, but the PH stayed at the lower end. I was primarily checking the FC, CYA and PH weekly with an occasional...

I have it in two socks tied to a noodle floatie. If the sock drops and sits on the liner- will it hurt the liner? Never mind- did a search and found the answer:)

Thanks everyone! I've been on this site looking up details prior to re-building and filling the pool, so that I could be a little prepared. Yes, it's a new fill- just filled last Thursday. I'm heading to Walmart to get the CYA/stabilizer, but one thing reading this site has done for me is...

So I rechecked using a 10ml sample and got: FC 7ppm CC- 0 -(did not turn pink) CYA- again clear, so -0-

Thanks so much for the quick reply! Yes, the test I ran was the powder with the drops- I used a 25ml sample- added R-0870 powder, then it took 26 drops to make it colorless. At that point I calculated wrong- I multiplied the drops by 0.2. So by what you said above, the FC would be 13, but...

I haven't been running the pump 24 hours- just between 6-8/day. I tested after two hours this morning and the results were: TC- 5.2ppm (I have the chlorinator set at 2) Not sure how to check FC in my test kit PH- 7.4 TA- 270ppm Calcium 260ppm Cyanuric Acid- didn't register anything in my test...
