Hi. Just wanted to ask you pros what i need to do to close my above ground 27 ft round pool? What are the chemicals needed and the process? I disconnect all hoses and put pump in basement. I put cover over skimmer inside pool(looks like a tupperware top) and put some R/V antifreeze in skimmer with a plug in bottom and cover. also plug water inlet with a plug. will water left in heater drain out on its own? or what should I do? What are chemicals i should buy from pool store?(just want to make sure i dont buy unneeded stuff.... not that they would try to sell them to me lol) thanks in advance!!!!!! you guys know your stuff!!!!!!
