I have a 20 x 40 x 6′ I make sure my pool is first balanced, then I add 5 gal of shock and 2 gal of algaecide and 10lbs of baking soda to keep the Ph up all winter. so by spring check the balance and adjust. The pool stays crystal clear and blue all winter.

Hi Vic,

If you have a main drain in your pool you will have a grate in the center of the deep end and you also will have a 3-way valve in front of the pump that controls the skimmer and main drain.

If you do not have a main drain, you can use a pump to lower the water the rest of the way,

You also can blow the pool lines free of water with a compressor or blower.

Let me know if you have any more questions or if you need additional help,

Joseph

Hi,

That sounds like about right, You should be fine all winter long,

Re check the pool mid march and you may have to add a bit more shock if it happens to be a warm winter,

Let me know if you have any more questions or additional help.

I put 12 bags of shock in my pool before closing and ran the filter for about 1 hour or two before covering and turning off the pump. It is aprox. a 30,000 gal. pool. Was this too much and is it going to mess up the liner?

I’ve been able to lower the water level to the skimmer but am being told that I also need to lower it past the returns as well. How do I do this since no more water is going into the skimmer? How do I know if I have a main drain or not?
