Preparing Your Pool for Winter

November 5, 2019

Getting Ready to Close Your Pool

Although Florida is typically warm year-round, during the winter months, temperatures can drop to the low 50’s. During this time, you may want to close your pool for the winter to avoid extra maintenance, costs, and damage to equipment. All Pro Pool & Spa Repair Services is here to provide you with the steps on how to prepare and close your pool for the winter. 

1. Clean 

Before closing your pool, its important to make sure you clean out any debris or items that may be in the water or filter. Leaving any debris in your pool can stain the sides and bottom and create algae. 

2. Balance Pool Chemicals 

Make sure you balance the chemicals in your pool before you close it. This helps to prevent algae outbreaks and damage to equipment. On top of your typical water balance chemicals, you may want to add extra chemicals for the winter, such as Winter Stain-Away, Winter Algaecide, and Chlorine-Free Pool Shock for extra protection. 

3. Keep Your Pump Running 

When living in Florida, you should not drain your pool! Since the weather doesn’t reach freezing temperatures, draining your pool can cause increased algae growth. Instead, balance your pool’s chemicals and run the pump. You should run your pump for a few hours every day to keep debris out of your pool and water circulating. 

4. Cover Your Pool 

Covering your pool for the winter can help keep it clean and preserve the chemicals. This makes for less upkeep of your pool during the winter and an easier reopening when the weather gets warmer. 

Don’t want to close your pool for the winter? Luckily, you can enjoy your pool throughout all seasons with a swimming pool heater from All Pro Pool & Spa Repair Services! We can perform a heating analysis to get an estimate of the average cost of heating your pool. Contact All Pro Pool Repair & Services today and start utilizing your pool all year round!
