Leaves, pine needles, mulch, grass, and other debris can sink to the bottom and stain the surface of your pool. It is important to remove anything in the water throughout the winter.
The pH level of your pool’s water is very important. Not only does it influence the clarity and safety of the water, it can also extend the life and functionality of your pool’s equipment. A pH level of 7.2 – 7.6 is recommended for the winter months.
As mentioned above, debris in the pool can not only impact the health of the water, it can also damage the structure of the pool itself. A great way to mitigate this problem is the trim any tree branches, shrubs,f or other landscaped areas. This will save time in the long run.
While our climate doesn’t make it necessary to winterize your pool, it can be an option to keep it clean and protected.
These are only a few things you can do to prepare your pool for winter. Taking these steps in advance can save a lot of time and money, as well as ensuring that your pool is safe, healthy, and ready for spring. Lucas Firmin Pools builds and services pools across the Baton Rouge area.
