+1 to TFP winterizing

[Buckmaster]

With the weather warming up, I cleaned the leaves off the cover and started pumping the water off the cover. I haven't seen the pool water since I closed it in the fall. I waited for temps to drop below 60 and brought it up to shock level with some liquid bleach, covered it up and hoped for the best. Well, I got my first peek today and its crystal clear under the cover!
Thank you TFP for an easy first spring startup!

Outstanding! You did well. Although without any picture, we have to take your word for it. Ha ha. Congrats on a clean opening.

Same here. I was super excited to open my cover to find crystal clear water. I made a thread about it as well a couple days ago. I plan to get the pump and equipment going this weekend. Stoked!

Ditto on mine a few months ago. Brought to shock levels before closing in Dec and left it alone for 2 months until it warmed up again. Considering how green the rainwater was on top of my cover, I was honestly expecting a nasty swamp to take care of right away this year, but was surprised by crystal clear water that still had an FC of 12ppm (shock was 16ppm).

Apparently I can upload a picture. I tried but I have a quota I didn’t know about.
