I have been raise a round pools and worked on them for years. winterizing means draining ALL water out of pipes,pumps,filters and heaters. if water is left in anything it could freeze and break whatever it is in. I think it is easier just to run pool as normal actually less in winter for the fact you dont use as much chemical due to temp. you only have to worry about those below freezing nites and when it going to stay cold for a while. i live in houston, tx so we dont tend to freeze alot but it is safer to just run pools during the freezes vs. winterize for inground. if above groung pool yeah winterize put plugs in and store filter and pump in garage.

What is a safe chlorine for swimming?
Someone/something changed the original question and that is probably why it has not been answered.Safe levels for chlorine are 1.5 ppm to about 5.0 ppm. of free chlorine. You should have a test kit that will give you free chlorine readings as opposed to just a chlorine residual. Free chlorine is what sanitizes the pool water. If you can smell a chlorine odor coming from your pool then you do not have enough chlorine in the water.K
When the salt cell dies how do you just run your pool on chlorine?
Just add Chlorine manually to the pool... I recomend liquid chlorine, because if you decide to replace the cell the calcum from powder chlorine will clog up the cell... How much chlorine should you add depends on so many factors eg the size of the pool, the water temp, how much you use the pool ect, ect. Its All trial & Error. where i live, in east sydney Australia for an average pool (50,000L) i tell people 1L a day in summer & 1L every 2-4 Days in winter. but you really should get a test kit & test the chlorine every few day till you work out the chlorine demand of your pool....
