Well, aside from the snow, the pool and yard look great! I think hubby might be on to something with the heat it all up once and then maintain.
What did you do to your pool today?

My cousin is on marine maneuvers somewhere out that way and woke up in tents covered in snow

Pooldv, I've found his theory in general to be correct, but this weekend will have really put it to the test
It's snowing here in Pennsylvania, too! I have to keep the pump on. What the heck is up with this weather? Grrr....
Water still at 60...
Brushed all the dust that had dried in the seams on top of my solar cover... good shoulder work out, sinking the cover, scrub scrub, sink the cover, scrub scrub... Lots of dust into the pool so I raise the FC up in case of nasties in with the dirt. Need a heat wave!

Things are looking up in the weather and heat department! I finally put my solar cover in yesterday evening and I'm about to start the cleaner for some vacuuming.
Emptied the skimmers. Took Polaris out of the pool so I can take it to Leslie's. It stopped climbing the walls and wheels aren't turning.
Yesterday I replaced the Polaris backup valve because it was cycling constantly and replaced two swivels because they no longer swiveled.

Some sustained days in the 70s would be great, it's those lows in the 40s at night that are killer! Maybe only lows in the 50s later this week up here.
Tested the water, turned the fìlter on & added bleach. Haven't even put the steps in yet.

Dialing in for off-season temps, testing and cleaning intervals and run times Oh well, it's all a good learning opportunity, right?

Pulled the winter cover, put on the solar cover and started up the pump and working on balancing the water.

Opened the autocover, tested, added MA and closed. Water temp STILL at 60. Crazy.
I passed my SLAM! I also skimmed and brushed the pool and dropped my little robot in to vacuum the bottom
Opened the pool, didn't look that bad, tested water, made list of stuff to get. Here we go a gain for another season...

99, it's time for the old 'hairnet in the skimmer basket" trick.
Water flow with no skimmer basket - top of 120 litre per minute line. Water flow with skimmer basket - bottom of 120 LPM line. Water flow with hair net added - exactly the same.
I've looked and looked and can't find these in Aus, unless I buy 1,000 for $42 plus $15 shipping. So I asked the nice lady at the deli counter to indulge me and she gave me 5 so I can try this out. I really don't need a 20-year supply of hair nets, lol.
