Hi all,
New house, new pool owner since late October. You would think I would want it be pool weather, but alas, I had a LOT to learn.

Previous owner had already disconnected hoses for filter and pump, so I just drained water (from both) and put new pool cover on. Knew nothing then, so bought a ‘pool closing kit’ with some round floating thingy that dispenses chemicals over the winter.
Winter proved a great time to attend Pool School. I have learned SOOO much. Took the 40 lbs. of 3” tabs and copper ionizer back as I know now how that affects CYA.
Will be moving pump and filter and running PVC pipe with correct valves /fittings. In a former life, I was a plumber, so this is second nature.
Glad to be here.
May the chlorine angels look down on my little island of paradise and see fit to make my pool algae free.
