What You Can Do To Maintain Your Inground Swimming Pool During Winter

To prepare an inground swimming pool for winter closure, start by thoroughly cleaning the pool, removing any debris and dirt. Next, balance the water chemistry by adjusting the pH level and ensuring proper sanitizer levels. Shock the pool with an appropriate treatment to eliminate bacteria and algae. Clean and backwash the pool filter, emptying pump and skimmer baskets. Finally, lower the water level below the skimmer and return lines, and install a secure winter cover to protect the pool from debris.

  1. WHAT YOU CAN DO TO MAINTAIN YOUR INGROUND SWIMMING POOL DURING WINTER

  2. SET YOUR SOLAR TO WINTER MODE If you have a solar-heated inground swimming pool, set your solar to winter mode. A great option for heating your pool when in use, switching to this setting in the cooler months is a fantastic way to reduce your solar power use throughout the cooler months. It also preserves energy in autumn and spring when the sun is lower but ambient temperatures are high enough.

  3. SHOCK THE POOL Shocking your pool is a great way to remove any unwanted bacteria or potential algae going into winter. Shocking your pool is the process of using a heavy treatment of chlorine. This treatment is distributed through the pool and should be rechecked two to three days after the process to make any further adjustments to pH if needed.

  4. CLEAN THOROUGHLY AND REMOVE ANY ALGE Before you put that final pool cover on and shut down your inground swimming pool for the winter, give it a thorough physical clean. This step will be easier to perform if you have automated cleaning equipment installed. There are a few manual tools that you can use to help with this process, such as a cleaning brush (typically nylon) and pool skimmer. Wire brushes can be used for stubborn algae spots, being careful not to scrub too hard at your pool’s surface coating or tiles.

  5. KEEP A CLEANING MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE In addition to our tips and tricks for preparing your inground swimming pool for winter, setting up a cleaning maintenance schedule is a good way to take the worry out of winter pool maintenance. While your winter cleaning schedule can be 70% less frequent than the warmer months, having a reminder set to check the state of your pool interior can avoid an algae overgrowth happening due to insufficient winter sanitisation, or anything else you might have missed.

  6. CONSIDER INFLOOR POOL CLEANING If you are serious about keeping your inground pool clean year-round with the minimum effort possible, consider Infloor Pool Cleaning during the initial stages of your concrete pool construction. Infloor pool cleaning is deemed a luxury expense by some, essential equipment by others.
