    Water level when closing a mesh-covered fiberglass pool with waterline tile

    What is the consensus on the safest water level when closing a fiberglass pool with a mesh cover when you have waterline tile to protect? My older fiberglass pool is showing signs of settling so I am worried about draining it down below the returns like we normally do. The concrete cantilever...

    water chemistry before closing

    Water is clear but has some crumpled up leaf debris in it. I plan on vacuuming before adding the polyquat. Looks like TA is around 70 or 80 but the chemicals have expired so I can't be sure this is accurate. PH is currently around 7.8 and I'm pretty sure this is accurate since I got a brand...

Some of the bolts are stripped so they couldn't get them to budge when they attempted to loosen them from the concrete deck, and some of them just wouldn't budge because the...

    questions about adding polyquat or closing at shock level

    Thanks for the advice. I'd love to save some money by skipping the polyquat and adding chlorine at shock level but it concerns me to close with a chlorine level of 24 ppm because I don't want to do anything that could potentially damage or bleach out my expensive green mesh loop lock cover that...

    questions about adding polyquat or closing at shock level

    I have been managing my pool the TFP way this past year and I've read the information on here about closing an inground pool. A pool professional is going to close my pool on Wednesday since my water is now below 60 degrees. Last year, he put in a copper algecide that stained my pool so I'm...
