I have read a few of the post and still am not quite sure on the right answer. The 60 degrees number..... Does that mean do not cover until the water temp remains below 60 degess or the outside air temp remains below 60 degrees?
Also, after reading and reading and reading on this forum, I am going to be going with the BBB method. I want to lower my CYA level so I don't have to chlorinate so high ( I had been use pucks). Will the levels drop automatically over the winter months? I will be draining some water below the skimmer and such for winterizing, so I know that will lower the levels some when I refill in the spring.
and, so you know what I am working with and numbers:
16X24 oval AGP, Doughboy
FCL: 8.12
TCL: 8.44
pH: 7.5
TA: 153
CH: 200 (since I have vinyl, I assume this number is not critical for me?)
CYA: 116
