Flower Mound Pool Closing

Texans don’t often have to worry about freezing temperatures and cold snaps but they do happen! When the temperature begins to drop you might throw on a sweater or hat but your swimming pool doesn’t have the same advantage! Whether you are worried about the weather or getting ready for a long vacation, treating your pool is key to avoiding damage and keeping water systems running smoothly. Schedule your Flower Mound pool closing with Puddle to protect your pool during the off-season.

There are plenty of reasons that you might take a break from swimming. When the off-season comes around you might not be keen to take a swim or heat your pool when it is chilly outside. Whatever the motivation might be, swimming pools are left up to the elements and that can quickly lead to big headaches. Instead of taking the risk of potential damage or opening your pool only to find it looking like a swamp, opt for professional pool care instead!

Fall Pool Care: Understanding the Process

If you’ve ever tried to close your pool on your own, you understand how complicated the process can be. One missed step can lead to contaminated pool water, tons of algae growth and potential damage to internal water systems. Each pool system is unique and should be treated using a tailored treatment plan. Luckily, Puddle technicians have created a multi-step program that caters to the needs of your pool inside and out, from top to bottom.

A winterized pool is a safe pool — even in Texas! Pool owners in Flower Mound might not worry too much about winter weather but winterizing chemicals are beneficial for a wide range of reasons. More than just preventing damage caused by freezing this combination of speciality chemicals also prevents algae growth and bacteria from taking over.

Water Treatments: When a pool is in high use, water chemistry is a top priority but when there’s no one swimming chlorine levels aren’t viewed as being important. Without regular chemical treatments it won’t take long for bacteria and algae to develop and spread. Once this happens a basic test kit won’t be enough to correct the issue. Instead, let a local pro apply a special combo of chemicals that are meant to last!

Managing Water Levels: The best way to keep bacteria and contaminants out of internal water systems is to winterize drain plugs and drop the water level. If water surfaces fall a couple of inches below the skimmers contaminated water isn’t able to get into lines or reach vulnerable areas like the pool pump.

Ditch Debris: Without regular skimming and vacuuming it is easy for a swimming pool to be overrun with unwanted items. The longer that sunken items are allowed to sit on the bottom of your pool the more likely they are to leave permanent stains on vinyl liners. All organics sitting in water will eventually rot and break apart into smaller bits and pieces. This makes debris even more difficult to remove. Seasonal pool maintenance should include a full cleaning that uses manual vacuums to suck up sunken debris, specialty brushes to scrub away residue, skimmers to remove floating items and includes emptying skimmer baskets.

Check Equipment: It is always a good idea to flush water lines to ensure that there is no sitting water inside. It is also a good idea to check the pool filters, cleaning and replacing them whenever necessary. Swapping out mesh pool covers for solid models or safety covers is also a simple way to reduce the risk of algae growth.
