Winter Pool Maintenance Tips




In order to properly prepare a swimming pool for the winter, the owner must first ensure that the water is clean and free of solid particles. Leaves, beetles, pine needles and other debris will have to be carefully vacuumed. A very good time to start the winterizing process is autumn, right before the leaves start to change their color, to prevent them from falling into the water.
Treating the water before the cold season is the next essential step in the winter pool maintenance process. A combination of concentrated chlorine and alkalizer will ensure that the water stays clean until late in the spring, when the warm season begins. Many manufacturers offer winterizing kits, containing all the necessary chemicals in a single package, ready for application. These chemicals are typically more concentrated variants of chlorine, algaecides and alkalizing substances that prepare water for the cold months. Some chemicals require filters to be turned on when they are introduced in the water, to prevent the apparition of spots on the pool liner.
Once the chemicals have been added, the water level in the pool should be lowered to a few centimeters below the level of skimmers and discharging holes, and the pool has to be covered.
Alternatively, the pool can also be emptied completely for the winter and covered with a waterproof tarpaulin to prevent water and snow accumulation. However, in time, this option can damage the liner or the mosaic, because of the exposure to freeze-thaw cycles.
