This is my first winter with me in control of the pool. I'm trying to decide whether to 'close' or just 'maintain'.
I know that last year, all that was done was some water drawn off, maybe, to bottom of skimmer, and a tarp thrown down on the water. There are no plugs anywhere. There are no gizmos. I seriously doubt they even removed water from any of the stuff on the pad.
I'm wondering if there are any members in my general area and what they do. Or any folks in a similar temperate zone with insights.
I'm willing to go either way, but I'm leaning towards 'maintain'. Just run pump during night hours for freeze prevention, but I wonder if that is even required, given last years experience.
