Taking Care Of Your Pool While this is not the time when you’d feel

tempted to take a dip in your swimming pool, this is when your investment needs you the most.

Protect your pool from potential damages and save your pocket as well from incurring unnecessary repair expenses.

It’s not enough that you’ve already closed your swimming pool. Taking care of your pool in the winter is best started ahead of time and continued throughout the season.

Keep Your Pool Clean Even when algae thrive in warm water, they

still can exist during the cold season, albeit slowly. Hence, it’s important to winterize your pool to reduce cleaning you ought to make once the pool season comes by.

Make sure to clean your pool to prevent dirt and algae from collecting over the cold season. Skim the surface of your pool to remove any floating debris.

Dispose waste from your skimmer basket as well.  And when vacuuming your pool, make sure to tackle dirt lying between gaps and around corners. To do this, scrub brush the pool floor and walls  thoroughly.

Balance Pool Water For Chemicals Water clarity can still be an issue during winter.

Draining your pool water is not advisable though as this can cause serious damages to the pool’s structure. In this regard, you’d need to make sure that the pool water is chemically-balanced to avoid contamination and algae build-up.

Chemicals you’ve added to your pool from the past season will have lost potency already by this time, so don’t forget to shock your pool occasionally. Chlorine will help the pool water stay clean and healthy for a longer period.

If you’re experiencing difficulties testing and balancing your pool water, you can always get in touch with local pool maintenance professionals for assistance.

Secure Pool Cover

Your pool cover performs an important job during the winter season. It serves as your pool’s first line of defense from debris or animals dropping by.

Check every now and then to make sure your winter pool cover is tightly attached.

It also helps investing in an air pillow especially if you’re expecting harsh winter conditions. An air pillow protects your liner, the pool walls, and even the pool cover itself from the pressure brought by the freezing of the water pool or build-up of ice.

Check Pool Equipment

Pool parts should also be checked every now and then to make sure they’d continue working properly.

Run your pool pump every week to ensure movement in the water. Check your filter and heating equipment as well, along with other pool parts such as pipes.

Keep watch of the freezing water as this may cause the pool pipes to crack, which in turn will only result to more problems.  

Taking care of your pool in the winter doesn’t have to be stressful. By doing pool maintenance the right way, you can protect your investment and keep it pristine until the next pool season.
