Hey guys, I did some digging and I couldn't track down a post that answered my questions, so here goes.
I'm in the Dallas area, so our winters are not too bad. However, I see no point in circulating the main pool if I don't have too. As such, I'd like to be able to "close" the main pool, and leave the spa open for use when we want to heat it up.
1) Can I close just the pool? I'd prefer to drain it down below the return jets, but 2) is it OK to leave pebble tech exposed to air & sunlight for months on end? Also, 3) what would I do to the pool chemically to leave it stagnant and open to sun/rain etc.? I realize it may require more chemical work in the spring, but that's OK.
Thanks
