once the ground is not frozen here 3 feet down it isn't refreezing. it would take multiple multiple days. I'm just going on past years of experience of my buddy who owns an excavation company. he digs in foundations and does underground utility work and he always have said once that 3 foot...

I have opened with pool water that was 35. as soon as we know the ground won't refreeze we open. I run my pump on a low RPM 24/7 anyway so the water is always moving.

Wally World is calling you. . . lol

Man I wish I can roll like that. I talked with my dad’s cousin who was my builder and we threw it around like for 5 mins during lunch the one day. lol. This winter I could have. Zero ice. Ice was off lakes by Feb also cause we were on our boats fishing by March first which is unheard of pretty much.

No way deff not. Like 11-13. I forget.

It should go pretty fast I did 53 oz in a sock this morning in like 3 hours. I squeeze every so often also. My water is 55 only. When I did the first set of cya when I opened the water was like 40.

This is how I do my cya. Dissolves way faster in front of return.

My pool was dirtier this winter also. Same amount of crazy worms but I had way more dirt. No idea why either. It was a wet wet winter that’s for sure

I’m a big supporting of soaking in winter and early spring. I dose in December if I have no ice. I dose again Feb cause I open end of March worse case. It’s very easy to do. Once the nights aren’t in 20’s consecutive I open but I also run my pump 24/7 on a low low speed to keep water moving anyway.

I am in the exact same spot as u. My water is 57 so my machine is reading 2200 only which puts it in very low mode but I know my test will be 2800 so I don’t want to make my unit “happy” cause I know as water increases reading will increase. I’m going to keep cell in and let it produce...

What tha!!!! U got this though! Ok now go in that corner and be good! Water temps are coming up quick this year. Our lakes have been steady at 49. No movement in water temp or fish activity. Thst was past 3 weeks and this past Sunday. Went to same lake last night 60 throughout whole lake in 48...

I might Nope. Get your levels and balance it all out. I once you get your cya to a normal level you can do an over night chlorine loss test to just make sure but if it’s clear you are good to go most likely.

Toss it. Test and dose as needed.

Interesting. Interesting that is very hard core. When I pump out water I put it on my bench seat in deep end which is what maybe 17 inches deep from bottom of tile. I zero out every single winter if I didn’t add. Cause when I measure in winter I’m always like 2 or under by Jan ish.

Even when I close close to slam level with all the rain we get and the water I take out I still dose liquid 1-2 times in winter to keep it clear. Just in case. I throw my pump in the deep end with a 4 foot hose. Let it whip and pour liquid over it. That stirs it up in 2 hours throughout the...

Horrible cloudy water on opening. Shame. Shame. Should have opened 2 months earlier. Lol Kidding. Stellar water already! But those worms! When I opened this year I ran the bot under the cover all day while at work I came home to a bot that had worms hanging out all over any seam on the unit...

Yah I close so late and open so early I don’t sweat it at all.

I fill a large cup with hot water. I put sample cup in that water and warm it up to 70. Then test.

Happened to me one winter. Happened cause ice pulled it out. You need those wings to be up and down vs left to right. Helps prevent the ice from pulling on them. The wings up and down slices through ice. I got lucky and mine popped out when ice was coming off so we blew the line out again and...

I always open about April 1st to April 7th. I keep a log since day 1 so I always check. My water is always low to mid 40’s. Today 44. One year it was 37. lol. I always open as soon as we know the ground won’t freeze again based on night lows. This year I was a little late cause we were in...

I stopped adding poly when I close. With closing really late when water is in low 50’s and opening with water still in 40’s never should be an issue. Just close it at slam level and u should be good.

Like what tha! The horror! The horror!

This morning. Weather is horrible! Snowed all day while we cleaned it up and started to balance Fc 3, cc 0, ph off the chart! 80 oz to get it back to 7.6. Ta 70, ch 175, salt 1800, cya 0. I took water out like 12 times this winter. Then this week 9 inches of water added due to rain...

I think the delamination and spelling happens when there is not frost protection. With my cover on I get that protection. I don’t get direct frost freezing and thawing on my step which is uncovered. I bet if I didn’t have a cover on I would have damage on my uncovered surfaces. I had a little...

That will put ur water level like right at bottom tile? I just drained down. I’m 10 inches below my bottom tile to give me a buffer. Same thing I do every year. My top step in the deep end and low end are totally uncovered and will be. Zero issues so far. There has to be something else going...

If it is true what I said it doesn’t matter it will clear up. Something about using one or the other. If u use both one gets eaten up so you are wasting money pretty much but it doesn’t hurt anything. If that is the case.

yah its warm here today. yesterday felt like summer man. I started getting my lights up. my neighbors are busting me but i said "have fun freezing out there in a few weeks". i hope we can use the boats for another 2-3 months. lol

thanks guys. well just got to drain when i get home and throw the robot in one last time. tonight i'll drop my PH to 7.4 also for the winter rise. all over i guess. winter is coming. . . well on paper at least. 70 this weekend! last weekend the fish were off the wall with the temp rise...
