    Pool closing

    Dont worry about closing the pool right now. Get it all cleaned up and clear first that way you will be in good shape come spring. Follow the advise from the great people on here and you will have a sparkling pool all next summer.

    Just Double Checking

    How often should I check FC in a day?
