First, thanks to everyone in this forum. This was my first season with a pool and had NO ISSUES. I went with the BBB method. Two of my friends who have had pools for a few years thought I was crazy. The crazy part is that they both had algae and I didn't and they still think I'm the crazy one....go figure!
Anyway, I have two questions....
1) I keep reading to add a gallon of antifreeze for every 10 to 15ft of distance. Why is this? I would think that the anitfreeze will accumulate and the lowest point, so why how is this going to help?
2) In my skimmers, I have two holes, one of them is capped and the other is for well, the skimmer. The capped one, what is it for? It's a little deeper than the rest of the skimmer, so if the water freezes, won't it crack? I hope I'm making some kind of sense. I did pour some antifreeze in there, but what happens if it washes out?
I guess that was more than two quetions.....
