Hi everyone! Hope you all had a good off season!
We had a lot of snow and ice here in NC and despite multiple adjustments of our pool cover we had thick layers of ice that pulled our pool cover down to the bottom of the pool and made it generally a mess. Next year I am going to look for that blow up pillow I have heard of to put under the cover. As of now our water is a lovely shade of green (above ground vinyl pool 15 foot that I we left half filled over the winter with a pool cover on). I had a few questions: should I completely drain the water and start from scratch or is it possible to salvage the water there and just add to it? Also, people have told me that the water will be fine once I shock it, but we use a SWG so I didn't want to use any store chlorine and just wanted to use the BBB method. Is that possible? Your feedback is greatly appreciated as always!
