I’ve always had pool company open and close. Last year I opened myself! I did have them close, but I discovered all the things that weren’t being done and that we should be doing. I took a lot of extra care last year to prep and finish up. They never winterized my laminars all these years. Each year, I’d open, and it would look like an animal imploded- sludge everywhere inside the housing. It was disgusting. Last season, I cleaned, drained, disconnected, and turned upside down for storage.
Opened my first one- nearly dry, pretty darn clean. No sludge. Yay!!
2nd. No sludge. But full of water. This lowes bucket is nearly 1/3 full of what I scooped out.
I would have done all of this after they closed.
Thoughts? Rainwater not draining?
Do you guys put anyone in the bottom of your laminars housing? Mine is just a hole to the earth with no clearance!
