How to Protect Pool in Harsh Winter

Swimming pools work greatly in summer months. But in cold months, it can
freeze due to lack of proper care. So, contact with your pool management firm
when temperature starts freezing. You can also use Goaquatix app. It is a pool
and aquatic management app. With the help of this, you can immediately contact
with your pool management firm to winterize your pool.

According to professionals, if your pool freezes up, you may have to face major 

pool problems.

The process of winterizing pool

In the first step, professionals test water to ensure that pH, Alkalinity, and 

Calcium hardness is all balanced.

After balancing the chemical level pour winterizing chemical to your pool.

You need to drain all of your pipes and pool plumbing system. When water 

expands, it freezes and can cause your pipes to burst. So, it is important to clear 

the water from these plumbing lines by backwashing the filter.

Lower the water level below the skimmer.

Clean and remove all pool equipment from the pool.

Prevent debris from getting into your pool by placing a pool cover.

Use a cover pump to drain any water that might collect on the cover.

It is a fact that moving water is less likely to freeze than water that is standing 

still. Hence, pool management companies suggest to continue to operate the 

pumps until the temperatures rise above freezing. For this, you need to open all 

the valves to allow water moving through the pipes. Some pool owners install a 

time clock. This device automatically turns your pumps on as the weather 

changes.
