Had the winter cover on from the last weekend in September until yesterday. Water temperature was 45f when I closed and 47f when I opened.
To close brought chlorine up to shock level and added 40% polyquat algaecide. Made sure all the other numbers were balanced.
There's still chlorine in there and the pH is still perfect.
Good times. Love following TFP method all summer and having sparkling clear water. And the bonus is not opening up to a green swamp after 7 months under cover.
The weather still can do a hard freeze around here so I won't be doing the plumbing or filling all the way. I'll circulate with a utility pump and add chlorine as needed until the end of May.
Yes I know I 'need' a new liner. This one's not too bad other than the extreme fading. No random holes, they all have a known cause.
Life's good.
