As the days grow colder and shorter, it’s time to prepare your pool for winter hibernation. With the right maintenance, winterization is easy and re-opening your favorite outdoor attraction will be simple when spring comes. Here are a few seasonal upkeep tips to live by from Distinctive Swimming Pools in Washington Depot, CT. 

Keep Your Pool in Great Shape This Winter With These Tips

1. Test Water & Clean

PoolsBefore winter sets in, perform a simple diagnostic test of both the pool water and all of your equipment. Next, clean the pool of dirt, debris, and any mold or discolorations on the tile. Once you know your water is chemically balanced and all elements are clean and functioning properly, you can start winterizing the area and your backyard as a whole. 

2. Invest in a Great Pool Cover

The best way to keep your pool water healthy and the floor and walls in like-new condition is investing in a sturdy pool cover. If you’re unsure of which model to buy, call a trusted swimming pool contractor that can provide recommendations. Once in place, trim back bushes and tree branches, and sweep up leaves that could weigh down the cover or puncture the top. 

3. Store Pool Filter Indoors

One of the most vital components of a swimming pool is the filter. To avoid the need for costly repairs, consider detaching it and storing it indoors during harsher weather. By reducing contact with ice, snow, and freezing temperatures, your filter will last much longer. 

4. Work With Experienced Swimming Pool Contractors

Most importantly, find a trusted pool cleaning and repair company that can help you with the winterization process. With the assistance of a trained professional, you can rest easy knowing your beloved summer recreation spot is ready for another warm season. Plus, an expert will identify and mediate problem areas with your cover or equipment right away, helping you avoid larger issues down the line.
