🍂❄️ WINTER POOL CARE TIPS FROM CRYSTAL CLEAR POOLS & SPAS! ❄️🍂
Pool season may be over, but your pool still needs a little attention during the winter months! 🏊♂️ Even a properly winterized pool can run into issues if it’s left unattended all winter. Here are a few important things to keep an eye on!
💧 1. WATCH YOUR WATER LEVEL!
Have a mesh safety cover? Remember that mesh covers allow rainwater to pass through into your pool! 🌧️ Your water level can rise significantly during wet weather. Check it periodically to make sure it stays within the appropriate range for your pool and cover. Too much water can create problems, so don't forget to monitor it! A sump pump or syphon may be needed to remove water if it rises.
🍂 2. KEEP AN EYE ON LEAVES AND DEBRIS!
Leaves, sticks, and other debris can collect on top of your cover. Remove debris carefully and follow your cover manufacturer's recommendations. Excessive debris can add weight and put unnecessary stress on your cover.
🛡️ 3. CHECK YOUR POOL COVER!
After strong winds or storms, take a look at your cover from a safe location. Watch for loose anchors, damaged straps, sagging areas, or signs of wear. Never walk on a pool cover, and keep children and pets away from the covered pool area. If you have a waterbag cover, please periodically check on those waterbags and make sure they are still filed and properly placed along the pools edges.
🌧️ 4. CHECK AFTER HEAVY RAIN!
Rain can affect your pool's water level, even when it's closed for the season. Pools with mesh covers may collect water inside, while solid covers may collect water on top. Follow the recommendations for your specific cover to manage water safely. If you have a waterbag cover a siphon cover pump may be recommended if you do not have air pillows to allow the cover to be tapered (not water will pool on tapered cover)
🥶 5. BE MINDFUL OF FREEZING TEMPERATURES!
If your pool was properly winterized, your plumbing and equipment should have been prepared for freezing weather. If you experience an extended power outage or suspect your pool was not winterized correctly, contact a pool professional for guidance. Avoid turning equipment on if you suspect frozen plumbing.
🔎 6. DON'T IGNORE UNEXPECTED CHANGES!
Notice unusual water loss, a cover pulling loose, damaged equipment, or water levels changing more than expected? Don't wait until spring to investigate. Catching a problem early can help prevent a bigger headache when opening season arrives!
🌱 7. THINK AHEAD TO SPRING!
A little attention throughout the winter can make opening your pool much easier. Checking your cover and water level periodically can help you avoid unnecessary surprises when warmer weather returns!
