Winter Is Coming Slowly But Surely – How Will You Prepare Your Pool?

Even though it’s still early, winter is coming, and in some parts it will arrive earlier than expected. If you just moved from a warmer area to the north, where the freeze can set in as early as the end of October, then it’s definitely a good idea to prepare in advance; and one of the first things you need to do is make sure your pool will not suffer. 

Credible pool equipment repair Plano TX service technicians confirm that pools have many areas and parts that can easily freeze when winter comes. Pipes and pumps, as well as water filters and the walls of the pool itself can freeze and become damaged over time, if the system is not prepared for the cold.

Removing, cleaning and drying your water filters before putting them back, and making sure you drain all the water from both the pool and the pump, will be two of the most important tasks you need to make sure you have thought about. Also, it’s good practice to clean your pool properly and cover it up. Bacteria and precipitation can easily lead to pool damage that might not be detected until the early days of spring. So, if you don’t want to have to put up with huge repair costs later on, make sure you consider the maintenance and cleaning requirements of your pool right before the end of fall.
