Seasonal Swimming Pool Maintenance10.05.09

The type of attention a pool needs is different in the summer and winter.   When the warm weather starts there are different things you need to do to a pool than when the weather is cold and there is minimal or no use.  Prevention of expensive problems can be achieved by following a few simple guildelines.

Winter

When pool use tapers off and cold weather is coming, put anti-freeze in all the water lines after they are drained.  The water should be drained to beneath the level indicated for freezing.

A heavy duty cover designed for the pool should be used to keep out debris and leaves and lessen algae growth. Ten times the usual chlorine is a good shock treatment to do before closing down the pool.  BE sure to disconnect the swimming pool filter and drain the pump This is a good time to test and clean any ladders, ropes or diving boards before packing away.

Safety

For safety small children should not be able to wander in so be sure the pool is protected when no one is around.

Balance

Swimming Pool chemical balance is essential for a well maintained swimming pool.   Balance covers the correct amount of chemicals, correct ph and alkaline balance, appropriate water movement and also cleaning.

Spring

  1. Clean off and dry the pool cover and store it away in the spring when it’s time to open the pool again.
  2. Drain the pipes of anti-freeze
  3. Check the filters to make sure they are clean.
  4. Shock the pool with pool chlorine granules after filling it to the normal level then scour it with a brush and vacuum it.
  5. To eliminate any algae that has formed when the pool was not in use, filter and vacuum it for a few days.
  6. To make sure the chlorine level is correct and the ph is between 7.0 and 7.6 test the water and add the chlorine at night to get the most effect.

Summary

Inflammation can be caused by both too much and too little chlorine.  Giving the proper care to your pool for the different kinds of weather means you can keep the water clean at different times of the year.
