Autumn is not far away but the swimming pool is still being used by the fearless and brave! There are still many warm days left, and if you have a pool heater you may be able to use your pool all year round. However, the way you care for your pool may change with the change of the seasons from summer to autumn. Here are a few tips for you to remember.
Because your pool needed more chemicals during the summer due to evaporation, use and swimmer load, you will be able to use less as the temperature lowers. You should only have to check your pool chemistry once a week in autumn.
When the season changes to autumn the leaves begin to fall more than likely into your pool. Be sure to skim your pool regularly to remove leaves and other debris. Sometimes leaves can stain if they remain on the bottom of the pool for too long.
Remember that because of reduced use, you can also reduce the use of your pump and filter. In most areas, you should probably only have to run them 4-6 hours a day.
Once your pool is too cool for swimming, be sure that you have it closed properly. This is best done by a pool professional to protect your investment. That way, you can ensure that everything will be ready when the pool is ready to be opened again in the spring!
