Temecula Seasonal Pool Maintenance

Caring for swimming pools means regular maintenance throughout the year, as well as in-depth seasonal care. When your mind is on the upcoming holidays or you are getting ready to take a trip it can be easy to forget about the needs of your pool or hot tub. Waiting too long to close your pool can lead to damage and missing the ideal time to open can cut down on your enjoyment of the swim season. Our Puddle Pros can help to keep your water system running smoothly and swimmers safe, with our Temecula seasonal pool maintenance.

Seasonal pool care is more than just throwing a safety cover over an in-ground or above ground pool. Preparing your pool for winter involves a multi-step approach to treating water, keeping structures clean and mechanisms functional. In the same way that extra precautions on closing can help to protect your system through winter, they can help to pave the way for a quick and simple opening in spring.

Pool Care For Any Season

You might be excited to remove the cover from your pool and hop in as soon as the weather gets warm, but before you do that, it is important to take stock of its condition. Diving into contaminated water can lead to serious illness and sitting debris or clogs can lead to damage over time.

Pool Closing: Temperatures do not have to be below zero for the water inside your system to freeze. When temperatures reach an average of 59 degrees, it is time to consider closing your pool. With a high volume, it takes prolonged exposure to frigid temperatures to freeze water but in smaller amounts, it does not take much. Dropping the water level a few inches below the skimmer line prevents water from getting into the vulnerable areas of your system. If water is allowed to freeze inside systems, it can have a negative impact on the pool pump, motors and more. Winterizing drain plugs is another way to prevent water from getting into sensitive areas.

Pool Opening: Even if you have applied algaecides during the closing process, there is a good chance that you will pull back a pool cover to find algae blooms and other discolourations. Contaminated pool water looks terrible, smells awful and can lead to skin irritations, ear and eye infections and serious digestive issues. Balancing the water inside your pool system is key for health and safety but it is also important not to forget about the electrical system that keeps your motors running. Swapping out winter covers for summer ones can help with heating by allowing sunlight in, reducing operational costs.

Instead of grabbing a garden hose and trying to add water to replace a lowered water level, call a professional to get great results. Anyone can grab simple test strips or vacuum the pool to get rid of sunken debris but these practices alone do not equal a sanitary environment. Everything from skimmer baskets to mesh covers play a role in the overall condition of your system. Missing one component of your pool can result in a negative ripple effect, so leave it to the professionals.
