So for whatever reason (the most likely being displacement by the massive amount of snowand rain weighing down my cover), my water level has dropped about 10-12".
My question: once opened (I know there is already some algae in there), do I take advantage of the higher chemical concentrations afforded me by the reduction in water volume and clear it up before refilling, or do I refill the water first?
The water is almost definitely below the skimmer, but running off of the main drain only shouldn't be a problem for me, unless there is some other reason for me to refill the water first. If I need to, I can refill it while closed by putting the hose under the cover, saving that time after opening and possibly giving me one extra swim day.
Any thoughts?
