After a fun summer, it is time to close-up your pool for the winter. If you make the effort to winterize your pool , you can protect it from damage over the cold months. Here are some suggestions to prepare your pool for winter.

Deep Cleaning

Start by cleaning your pool. Skim any leaves or debris, and then vacuum the bottom to prevent any settled dirt from staining. Empty the skimmer basket and scrub the tiles at the water line to have everything in good shape before you cover it.

Down the Drain

Frozen pipes are one of the biggest concerns for pool owners. Drain water from the pump, any connecting pipes and the heater, if you have one. Some pool owners may lower the water level to below the skimmer opening as well.

Stay in Balance

Winterizing chemicals are available to get your water balanced and prevent the growth of algae. If you have a floating chlorine dispenser, you should remove it, so it does not weaken or stain your pool liner.

Cover Up

Winter pool covers are the ideal way to keep debris and animals out of your water during the offseason. You may even want to place a floatation device in the center of your pool to keep the cover from making contact with the water.

Winterizing your pool seems like a lot of effort, but it is worth it to protect your pool for the next summer. If you want more information about pool care, call Sequoya Swimming Pools at 865-584-6801.
