Continuing with our instructions on how to winterize your pool, we first went over that it’s important to clean out the pool and make sure your water chemistry is balance appropriately. Read below for even more tips on how to prepare your backyard oasis for the harsh, colder months.
Don’t Allow Chemicals to Damage Your Pool
Do not add tablets or a floater that contains bromine or chlorine, as they can easily damage your pool equipment. If you have these tablets in your filter already, allow them to run out so that nothing remains. For winterizing chemicals, you should pour them into a pocket and then into the pool.
Take Care of Your Pump and Heater
Disconnect your pump and filter, making sure all of the liquid is completely drained from the pump. With your pool sitting dormant for at least 3-4 months, you don’t want the water trapped inside to become frozen and damage your equipment overtime.
To guarantee your in-ground pool survives the winter, be sure to follow these easy steps. If you need assistance with your pools in Jefferson, Missouri and the surrounding areas, do not hesitate to contact Little Giant Pool & Spa today at 636-271-2200.
