As some of you know this is my first year with a pool. I bought this house in December, and the pool was in terrible shape, all green, had to be drained and replastered. Want to make sure I close it properly when the time comes. I do not have to drain it, as very seldom do we get a hard freeze, although it does get below freezing pretty commonly at night. It does have a temperature sensor which will kick on the pump, but I don't think I will use it now that I have the variable speed pump. I will probably just let it continue to circulate at a very low rate when the temperatures are below freezing at night. I guess my question is, what do I do to the water to prepare it, and also to maintain it. Do I continue to test it as I do now just keep all the levels as I do during the summer? I gather from reading that the SWG will quit generating chlorine at some lower temperature, and I will have to manually add bleach at that point. My plan is to leave it full, use my variable speed to circulate when temperatures get below freezing, and maintain levels as I have all summer with the only exception of having to manually add bleach. Is there anything else I should do or am I off base on my thoughts? Live in central Oklahoma, still have a little time as my pool temperature is at 79°. Just want to be sure I'm doing it right. Thx
