Preparing Your Pool for Winter: Why It Matters and How Somertime Pool Can Help
As the temperatures start to dip, it might be tempting to simply cover up the pool and forget about it until spring. However, preparing your pool for winter is essential to protecting your investment and ensuring an easy opening when warm weather returns. With over 40 years of experience in the pool industry, Somertime Pool understands what it takes to keep your pool in top shape through every season.
Why Winter Pool Prep is Essential
1. Prevents Damage from Freezing
When water is left untreated in your pool over the winter, it can freeze, expand, and potentially cause cracks in your pool's surface, plumbing, and equipment. These costly repairs are easily avoided by properly winterizing your pool.
2. Keeps Water Balanced for a Fresh Start in Spring
When pH levels go unmonitored, algae and bacteria can take over, making it tough to reopen your pool. By balancing your water and adding winter chemicals, you’ll prevent this buildup and keep your water clear and healthy, saving time and money come spring.
3. Saves You Money
Taking time to winterize your pool is an investment that pays off. Avoiding off-season repairs and ensuring a smooth spring opening can save hundreds, even thousands, over time.
How to Prepare Your Pool for Winter
1. Clean and Balance the Water
Brush, vacuum, and clean all surfaces of the pool. Balance the pH, alkalinity, and calcium levels to protect the water quality and prevent staining.
2. Add Winter Chemicals
Use a winter algaecide and a chlorine shock to keep the water clean during the off-season. This keeps algae and bacteria from becoming a problem.
