Why Do People Close Their Pool So Early?
From https://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/closing-time.html - If you do not have a seasonal climate where you close and winterize your pool, you might wonder why you see and hear of people closing their pool as early as September. Even before September, some early birds will have already closed, covered and winterized their pools. The main reason is children going back to school means swimming pools largely get less use. Falling leaves in the autumn season means vastly increased debris loads in swimming pools. That means a sharp uptick in the amount of skimming, vacuuming and cleaning of strainer baskets. Most importantly, people close their pool when the temperature gets cooler because of the cost associated with heating the pool water to a swimmable temperature. Heating swimming pools is expensive by every method and the more efficient heating sources such as solar heaters and electric heat pumps will struggle to provide sufficient heat output to offset the heat losses during low, cold overnight temperatures.

how-many-return-lines-should-a-pool-have
From https://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/aim-returns.html - Swimming pools need a minimum of one return line in order to function; ideally though, they have three or four return lines. But how many return lines and return jets (or return ports) a pool needs depends a lot on the size and shape of the pool.
For optimal skimming effect (removal of floating debris) and diffusion of the filtered and chemically treated water returning to the swimming pool, having multiple return jets in the right locations helps to both aim the flow of water towards the skimmer mouth for debris collection and removal as well as dispersing the treated water more evenly throughout the pool.
Swimming pools with unique shapes may need more consideration of the number of return lines as well as the placement of them to avoid any dead zones where debris collects from lack of water flow pushing it towards the filtration system.

can-you-skate-on-a-frozen-pool
From https://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/pool-winterization-vlog.html - This is something no swimming pool owner should want to see happening in their frozen pool. First, many pools typically do not freeze completely or even enough to make a safe surface for skating or even just walking. It can be too thin or shift around and is just too hazardous. You should not attempt to go out on the frozen surface of your pool. Second, there is a lot of damage that could happen, and it could be very expensive to fix. Damage like a hole or tear in a vinyl liner which means a new liner before you can swim again. The tile band in a concrete pool (or the concrete itself) could break or shatter from impact which would be a very expensive repair come time to open the pool.

From https://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/pump-power.html - This bench test shows power consumption and flow rates of the Hayward Super Pump VS. It is running on a single 1.5" suction and return line with a 150 square foot cartridge filter. The pump is wired for 230 Volt electrical supply and electrical usage is measured through an external wattage meter (the pump also displays wattage). Flow rates in this video are monitored through a digital flow meter. Find out more about flow meters and their benefits here:

how-much-should-you-run-your-pool-pump
From http://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pages/vs-programming.html - When filtering your swimming pool you should make sure you filter it three times daily. If you have filtered it less than three times daily then you have not filtered all of your pool water. This means that you will have to use more chlorine to make up for the fact that you did not filter all of your water.
