Hi TFP folks,
I'm looking forward to another pool season!
My dilemma however is when to open my pool this year. We are planning a week long family vacation towards the end of May. If I open the pool before that then the pool would be unattended for one week. I'd need to bring the pool to slam levels and shut down the equipment while we are gone.
Alternatively I hold off on opening the pool until May 29th, but of course that means missing out on some early May swimming should the good weather come early this year. Also opening around this time may be risky if it is warm and algae starts to develop. I am located in southern Ontario (Canada), so perhaps the water temperature won't hit 60 degrees or so before I open.
Thoughts or suggestions?
thanks!
