Temperatures are dropping off and we’re in the midst of fall, but it’s a good idea to look ahead at the winter pool maintenance you’ll need in a couple of months. Don’t wait until the last minute; check out these 10 tips to prepare your swimming pool for winter. Here are a few of the most important winter pool maintenance items to remember.
- Clean the pool well before sanitizing it and adding the mix of winter chemicals that will keep it clean and algae-free.
- Don’t forget to clean and sanitize the pump, skimmer baskets, and pool filters, as well as adding pool antifreeze to keep your lines from freezing and causing damage.
- Remove any free-floating elements in the pool, from ladders to ropes, and cover with a heavy-duty pool cover that will protect the pool throughout the winter months.
