Getting Your Pool Ready for Closing
- Balance the water
Just like at start-up, it’s important to balance your water before closing. Keep Total Alkalinity at 80–120 ppm, pH between 7.2 and 7.8 and Total Hardness 200-400 ppm. - Shock and treat the water
Shock the water with a nonchlorine shock to rid the water of contaminants and add FROG Pool Tender Algaecide. This is a one-two punch to keep water clean during the winter. - Lower the water level
Lower the water level to below the mouth of the skimmer to prevent freezing that could damage pipe or the skimmer. - Prep your equipment
Drain all water from all equipment, including pumps, filters and your FROG Pool Tender Cycler using the knobs at the bottom. - Remove the Chlorine Chamber®
If the Chlorine Chamber still has product, wrap it in plastic and store it safely. Discard the Mineral Cartridge, as it only lasts one season.
