@@SwimUniversity spot on thanks. I got the cyclone orange air unit but I think I need small tubing maybe to connect it to the pvc the pump connects to.
We've recently had a fall like temperature change in Oklahoma. We're scheduling pool closures and fall repairs to get our clients ready for winter. Last year our freezing temps really led to massive damages for those that didn't act fast enough to close their pools. Yes we want our clients to use their pools as long as possible, yet damages can happen so fast.
When winterizing your saltwater pool, remove the salt cell for proper storage. First, turn off the power to all your pool equipment, including the pump. Then, disconnect the salt cell by unscrewing the unions that connect it to the plumbing. You can install a "dummy" cell in its place to keep the pipes sealed for winter.
Won't shocking the pool before covering cause the gassing off of the corrosive chlorine to build up under a solid cover and make the cover become brittle sooner than normal over the years?
I’m curious about this as well. I was thinking of shocking a couple of days before the pool is partially drained for winterization and vacuum any dead algae and then put some algaecide in the pool water at closing. I feel like the high level of chlorine shock won’t break down with it being covered and protected from UV light. Shocking a couple of days before closing should help to break the chlorine levels down but still have a decent level at closing?

Need a good winterization guide on blowing lines out maybe with different air blowing options.

When do you add the polyquat? After shocking or day of closing?
I live in Malta, I keep it full and running normally all year round though its too cold to swim in between November and May.
Great video
Thanks!

When did the freeze happen last year?
@@SwimUniversity Typically mid November, but Oklahoma weather never fails to catch us off guard. We get ice storms that can really be damaging.
How do I clean the water after the fiberglass crack was repaired ? I have a lot of fiberglass particles in the water.
How do you winterise a salt pool with chlorinator?

My pool was us closed by professionals but what chemicals should I put in water during winter?
Did the pros not put chemicals in?
Handle stuck, tried vinegar and baking soda, no help
What happened?
I have some questions. I'll get back to this later.

I recommend shocking the day before closing to give enough time for the chlorine to gas off. Also, you're only doing this one time and not frequently.
