This was my first full season with my pool, and (sadly) I'm starting to plan for the closing of the pool this season. I've been incredibly happy with this site to help me with summer maintenance, as it's been a breeze this summer! I want to have the pool company close my pool since I don't trust myself to get the water fully out of the lines and I'm not going to risk damaging the plumbing over the summer. To keep with the TFP mentality, should I prep the water myself, and ensure that the pool company doesn't put any additional chemicals in the pool? Or just let them do their usual closing treatment? I was reading in Pool School and saw the note about bringing FC up to shock level and then drift down, and putting in some antifreeze. Just wanted to see what the general recommendation was for this. Thanks!
(I anticipate that some will try to convince me to do the full closing myself, and while I appreciate that advice, at this point it's worth my time and peace of mind to let them handle this part of the job)
