Hello all..
Going to be getting the pool prepared for Indiana winter in the next few weeks. I know that I have to balance the chemicals and slam before closing it up. Also I have read the thread for closing on here but wasnt area specific. Here is where i need advice.
1. I've been told of winter pills to throw in before covering and also polyquat along with balancing chemicals.
2. Drain pool with main drain 4 inches below skimmers than blow the lines out with air compressor and plug them with special plugs for those lines. I have 1 return and 2 skimmers.
3. Release drain plugs of cartridge filter and pump and take inside pool shed.
Anything i am missing please let me know. First time closing up so any and all help is appreciated!
Btw...our winters get into negative temps and lots of snow sometimes for those unaware.
