As the winter season sets in, it’s important for pool owners to take proactive steps to protect their pools from potential damage. Winter weather can pose various challenges for pools, but with the right precautions, you can prevent costly repairs and ensure a smooth transition into the next swimming season. In this blog post, we’ll explore some common issues that pool owners should watch out for during winter and provide practical tips to help you prevent winter pool damage. With a little extra care, you can keep your pool in great shape year-round.

Chemical Imbalance: Maintaining proper water chemistry is essential, even during the winter months when the pool is not in use. Neglecting water chemistry can lead to imbalances that may cause corrosion, staining, or the growth of algae and bacteria. Test the water regularly and adjust the chemical levels accordingly. Consult with a pool professional to determine the appropriate winter chemical treatment plan for your specific pool type.

Debris Build-up: Leaves, twigs, and other debris can find their way into your pool during winter, causing water contamination and potential clogging of drains or skimmers. Regularly skim the pool’s surface and remove any debris to keep the water clean. Trim back trees or plants near the pool area to minimise the number of debris falling into the pool. A properly fitted pool cover will also help keep out debris and reduce the maintenance required.

Equipment Protection: Winterise and protect your pool equipment to avoid damage from cold temperatures. Drain and clean your pool pump, filter, and heater according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Store removable equipment in a dry and sheltered location to prevent corrosion. Inspect equipment periodically during winter to ensure it remains in good condition.
