If you want to close the pool for the winter, there are a number of steps you need to take before doing it. The process that you do depends on the type of pool.
When it comes to auto pool covers, mesh and solid are the two most common types. This blanket has its strengths and weaknesses, so you have to change the way you close the pool according to that.
Cover your pool with a network pool cover
Pool Covers also help keep your pool clean, so less energy is needed for chemicals, equipment, and filters. Keeping your pool covered significantly reduces water loss due to evaporation. This way, you won’t need to worry about water waste.
It is also recommended that you repair the pump during winter to prevent dirt from accumulating. It is best to keep the pump running until all pool areas have passed through the filter system at least once. You need to check your manual to find out how long.
Cover your pool with a tight pool cover
These covers are usually opaque, which means that they don't let light in. This lack of light prevents the accumulation of algae, making maintenance of your pool easier and less time-consuming.
Turn off the pump and the motor will insert the device into the skimmer to prevent it from freezing water. Then blow off excess water from your sanitation system. You also need to treat the pool chemically to balance calcium and alkali levels.
Track time
Winter weather is unpredictable at best. It can snow and rain one day and beautiful sun the next day. However, this condition can cause chaos in your pool if you are not ready, especially if you have poor coverage.
Heavy rain can melt the chemicals you add to kill any algae. It is important to keep track of the time so you can balance the chemicals in the water if necessary. This will save you a lot of trouble if you have to open the pool again.
