I have a temperature gun thing to measure the surface temperature, but I assume that when people say 60 degrees to open the pool it doesn't mean what the laser is measuring on the surface.
This is my first year owning/opening a pool and I want to avoid a rough opening, so I plan on doing it early. However, it's been unseasonable warm here in NY, and the water temperature on the surface is 72. Should I be opening? I'd assume we will probably still have some freezing nights in the next few weeks.
What's more risky - having the water this warm (on the surface), or risking being open for a freeze?
Also, I just very antsy to open the pool and get that ugly cover off.
Any advice!?
