Winterize question

jimim · Nov 2, 2022

We are closing at some point Friday. They won’t tell me AM Or PM. I want to drain down tomorrow night so it’s good to go in case they come in morning. Can I leave my top step in my low end and deep end exposed over night. The low is 47 only.

Then in morning I figured I would mix in my poly and beautec (scale prevention)

Quartz plaster as in my signature.

Thanks everyone!

Another successful season. Hopefully no issues when the ice comes.

Yes.

I would add the Polyquat before the drain and give it 24 hours to mix.

Ok I was just thinking about adding it this morning. Lol but then I was second guessing myself.

Thanks a lot! I’ll do that once it’s light out. Thanks a lot as always.

I’ll start to drain tonight. It’s not going to have 24 hrs to mix but it will have a solid 12 hours. That should be ok?

I mean. They don't know what it's doing.... while it's doing it and all, but the forecasts are looking favorable for us this year in the Northeast.
