The temperatures are beginning to drop in the panhandle and pool closures are beginning to commence. Fortunately, for pool owners along the Emerald Coast they don’t need to be closed very long. However, for the short amount of time that they are, it is important to take the necessary steps in order to maintain a pool’s balance. Appropriately maintaining your pool during the winter months can help with its preservation all while aiding in an earlier opening date! Our intent is to provide our loyal customers with the information necessary to conserve the well-being of their pool in the winter months.
There are several important factors in maintaining a pool during the winter. Some of the tips given should be practiced throughout the year as well. First, we recommend draining some water to guarantee it is below the pool skimmer line, as this helps tremendously with freezing.
Always be sure to drain the filter, heater, and pump as well. Second, always be sure your pool’s chemicals are in balance. This helps with preventing the growth of algae and other bacteria. Finally, cover your pool with a properly fitting cover! A proper cover will assist with each tip listed above.
In addition to the tips listed previously, we also recommend that homeowners have their pool inspected by one of our professionals before closing. A professional inspection will help certify that your pool is free of any issues that aren’t explicitly apparent. Contact us today and let Phoenix Pools help in maintaining your pool’s health and happiness!
