    Open pool and temps in the mid 20s forecasted this week

    I have the same problem but am not really worried. The water temp is 60 and it is only supposed to be be below freezing for a couple of hours.

    Pool opened. Next year I'll open it myself.

    Concrete is Stained, need help

    Sorry Kstruglia, but I think you are going to have to live with it. I have had the same issue, and the first time I noticed it, about 3 years ago, it drove me crazy. Called the pool builder and he had a concrete specialist out. He first tried to power wash it, that did nothing. I then tried...

    I am in northeast Ohio which is about your latitude. I close mine the second week of October definitely before the leaves start to fall. I open the last week of April. Last two years water was 48 degrees at opening.
