Today is the day I planned on closing due to below-freezing temperatures heading our way in the next couple days. I scooped the leaves out and my water is crystal clear (will test shortly but did test last night). Rain is stopping in the next hour (it hasn’t been too heavy but it rained all night!) so I’m wondering if this is a bad time to close? I searched all over the forum for posts about closing right after rain but cannot find anything. I adjusted pH and alkalinity several days ago before bringing my water to shock level per PoolMath so my FC is still too high to get an accurate pH reading. Am I going to have to postpone closing? This is the second time this has happened and I’m really getting fed up.
If it makes a difference, I am using a nice mesh winter cover and will be opening as soon as possible when water is still below 50 degrees. I just don’t want to open to a green pool. I already brushed the walls and floor several days ago, backwashed filter, and ran the pool vacuum then the stupid rain hits and I had to fish out more leaves. I cannot catch a break!
