Winter Maintenance Plan for warmer areas
Hey there. So I understand the whole concept of "pool opening" and "Pool closing. And in the western states and California, perhaps the winter closing is much simpler.
For example, in California, I get no snow and rarely any freezing temperatures. So I do not need to be so concerned about covers, draining, winterizing pipes, etc.
But what is my winter maintenance plan? In other words, what types of things do I need to do, and what frequency, when my water is unused, and sits at about 50 degrees all winter.
So Do I run my Pool Cleaner all winter? Continue with the main pump running all winter (one turnover per day).? Chemical checks? Chlorine levels?
Ideas? Thanks.

My opinions:
Always maintain the chemicals, even if you aren't swimming. This will protect your equipment and pool finish.
Run the pool cleaner only when you want to remove debris from the pool. This applies all year really.
Still run the filter, but one can generally run it less if the pool is unused. The run time varies.
