The benefits of winterising a swimming pool
Not caring for your swimming pool over the winter is a false economy. If you close the pool yourself or leave it throughout the winter to try and save money, you will end up paying more to reopen it in the spring.
See some of the main reasons why it’s essential to winterise your pool.
Prevent freezing
During the winter months, temperatures drop and we can experience freezing temperatures that can cause serious damage to your swimming pool, accessories, pipes and other pool equipment. Winterising your pool properly for the cold season will ensure a frozen pool won’t cause expensive damage that will need repairs.
Keep your pool clean
Having the pool fully cleaned and dosed with the right chemicals and winter algaecide will ensure bacteria and algae doesn’t grow in the pool over the winter, causing stagnant water. This can be time consuming for pool owners to get rid of when spring arrives, so it’s best to ensure your pool winterising chemicals are correct when closing for the winter.
Swimming pool safety covers ensure no debris, such as leaves and branches, gets in your pool and cause algae and any other bacteria to grow, keeping it clean over the winter.
Save time and money
Any algae growth on pool surfaces (leading to a green pool), freezing water, or damaged equipment can lead to expensive repairs. Following the correct pool care tips for the winter season and using a professional company, such as Hydrocare, to close your pool for the winter will ensure you don’t incur unexpected costs and delays in using your pool again in the summer.
Simplify spring opening
Opening your pool after winter is much quicker and easier if you have properly maintained it over the winter. When spring arrives, you’ll just need to have a professional company uncover, fill, and balance chemicals rather than deal with repairs, algae removal, and other issues from winter neglect.
Winterising your swimming pool, also known as decommissioning, should always be done by a professional.
