Hello everyone, hope you're all healthy and well during this crazy time.
I live in Southern PA and usually open around late April. For what it's worth I have a radiant pool, built into a hill, with a winter cover that works not unlike a tupperware container. Every year so far upon opening, the water has been clear with nothing but some dead worms on the bottom.
We have a well, and so have to purchase 1-2 truck loads of water (I think I usually spend about 200-250 on water when opening). We also have a crack in our skimmer and were planning to replace it this year (even though it didn't leak at all last year). Due to current events, my husband and I are both worried about our jobs and spending unnecessary money. In addition, I'm pregnant with our first and due the end of May.
My questions are- is not opening the pool for the year an option? What might happen? Is delayed opening an option? Maybe after I have the baby and the coronavirus situation (hopefully) clears up?
Thanks so much for any insight! Take care everyone!
