With a reasonable warm weather start of this year, I thought I will give you some tips on how to maintain your swimming pools.
I am just kidding about the warm weather by the way, although it is warmer here in the UK than Edmonton, Canada. It never hurts to start early so those expected surprises cannot delay planned pool opening.
So while the swimming pool is closed for winter, here is what you can do, which will help make the spring opening quick and easy and hassle-free.
• Pump excessive water off the winter cover. Why? I am not entirely sure, I am just kidding again, excessive water on the swimming pool covers can cause severe damage to the swimming pool cover and due to this cover can fall into the pool.
• For any leakages check the pump room.
• Do not pump off the water; just leave 2 to 3 inches of water on the cover to protect from wind damage.
• If you see sheets of ice do not move them just leave them as this can do cause pool liner some damage.
• Check swimming pool chemicals.
• Check the pool water so that there is no trace of algae.
• Open sand filters and check quality and level of the sand.
Here is what you can do to your pool in the winter:
Water is always clear during the winter even though very little has been done to it. I hardly ever see a pool turn green in the winter because algae does not appear, even if it does appear its build-up is extremely slow.
So to winterize the swimming pool, here is what you should do:
• Once a week add a dose of chlorine and run the pump.
• Vacuum the pool at least once every 4 to 5 weeks.
So after all that, it can help prevent pool problems, water problems and enable you to enjoy your swimming pool as soon as the warmer weather arrives in spring.
