Pool Filter System

We just had a 24 foot round pool installed. With it being so late in the season we have the pool filled with water to just below the skimmer.

Having well water, we really don't want to fill it up and set up the filter system and cut the skimmer hole and then have to drain it and winterize it. Will it be ok to leave until next year to do the filter and cut in the skimmer hole?



Hi. The pool really does need some type of filtration. Even if it is just the filter set up with a couple of hoses going over the wall, it is better than nothing. To keep the water from going stagnant chemicals will need to be added to it. The water should be circulating anytime you are adding any type of chemical to the water. Without the water circulating, you are running the risk of either the water going bad with algae or the chemical burning are staining the liner.

I would think the cost of a little more water now would be a lot less expensive than a new liner in the spring. I would finish filling it.

I do not recommend any winterizing method that does not require the pool to be full of water.
