Maintaining Your Pool Clean During Winter
Whether we like it or not it’s getting close to winter and once it gets to April the amount of time you’ll spend in your pool will be nil to zilch unless your pool is heated. If you simply think putting the cover over it and turning a blind eye to your pool over the winter is a good option – think again. Doing this runs the risk of costly long-term damage to your pool. The easiest and best option is to spend time each week cleaning and maintaining your pool with the following easy tips from a pool cleaning service that will make diving head into crystal-clear water a reality when the weather warms up again.
Keep your pool free of debris
Cleanliness is next to Godliness, especially when it comes to maintaining your pool over winter. If your pool is a bit of an “oasis”, where there is foliage decorating the outskirts of the pool, it is most likely leaves, insects, and other debris that will be blown into the water. Sure a few leaves or bugs on the surface may not seem like a big deal but it soon will be once you’re forking out for costly repairs to fix your pool’s filtration system.
Protect the water
When it comes to keeping your pool healthy, it’s important to look after the inside as well as the outside. You’re going to need to invest in chemicals because simply scooping leaves and sucking up dirt using a vacuum isn’t enough. What you’ll need are an algaecide, a pool clarifier, and chlorine. It’s a wise idea to invest in algaecides it will help to prevent the growth of algae in your pool. The best thing about some algaecides is that you may only need to administer one dosage of it during the winter as some products can last up to 90 days.
