Winter is here, and swimming pools are still in need of maintenance. Having them professionally cleaned and maintained can help keep them running smoothly throughout the winter season.
Winterizing is a must to ensure that your pool is protected, but there are some other things that can be done to keep your pool running smoothly throughout the year.
Chlorine Levels
When it comes to keeping your pool water clean, adding chlorine can be a good idea. However, it can also cause problems if the levels in your pool are off.
When it’s time to close your pool for the winter, make sure that the proper amount of chlorine is added to keep it working properly. Winterizing is an important step to ensure that your investment is protected.
Algaecides
Since most pool chemicals are only used for a certain amount of time, they can’t last for long periods of time. Winterizing and algaecides are also important to prevent bacteria and algae from growing in your pool.
Winter Covers
A pool cover is your pool’s main defensive measure against ice, snow, and debris. It should be cleaned off regularly in order to remain effective.
Ice Damage
Your pool's water will freeze once the temperature drops below zero. This can happen even though the amount of water inside the pool is not significant. Don't allow water to get into your pool's filter, heater, or pumps by draining it to the wrong level. Doing so will cause the water to freeze and expand, which could damage the hardware.
