I read a thread about closing . It says to bring to shock level for 24 hours. After that should I wait for the fc ppm to drop to a certain level before covering ? And do you guys add algacide for the winter? Thanks in advance for any advice
When I used algecide (different brand) that one had to be added mid winter also. Does Polyquat need to be added every 3 months also ?The use of algaecide (polyquat 60) is used by many owners but not all.
No, not in the winter. Not sure too many owners actually bother after closing, although much probably depends on whether or not the owner can get access to the water after closing since some covers (if used) can be a bit more difficult to pull back. Getting the Poly to circulate would be the other consideration.Does Polyquat need to be added every 3 months also ?
I diluted mine in a bucket and poured that in, probably about a cups worth per bucket.Getting the Poly to circulate would be the other consideration
