Preparing Your Pool for the End of the Season - Aqua Management Partners

As the summer comes to a close, it’s essential to prepare your pool for the colder months. Aqua Management Partners offers helpful advice for protecting your pool during the off-season to ensure it’s ready for a smooth reopening next year. Here’s a breakdown of their end-of-season pool care tips:

1. Thorough Cleaning

Before closing your pool, Aqua Management Partners stresses the importance of giving it a deep clean. Use a pool vacuum and skimmer to remove dirt, debris, and leaves. Scrubbing the walls and floors will help remove algae and bacteria, preventing buildup over the winter months. Cleaning the filter and backwashing your system ensures everything runs smoothly when you reopen in the spring​.

2. Balance Water Chemistry

Properly balanced water chemistry is key to preventing scale buildup, corrosion, and algae blooms. Aqua Management Partners recommends testing the water to ensure the pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness levels are within the recommended ranges. Winterizing chemicals, like algaecide, metal sequestrants, and enzymes, should be added to prevent staining, algae growth, and organic buildup​.

3. Lower the Water Level

To protect against freezing, reduce the water level below the skimmer and return lines. This helps prevent water from freezing in the pipes, which can lead to cracks. It’s essential not to drain the pool entirely, as leaving some water in place protects the structure from damage due to hydrostatic pressure.

4. Winterize Plumbing and Equipment

Blow out the pool’s plumbing lines to remove any residual water, then add pool antifreeze to further protect against freezing temperatures. Aqua Management Partners advises removing and storing pool accessories like ladders and handrails to prevent rust or damage. Lubricating the O-rings and storing pumps and filters in a dry place helps them last through the winter​.

5. Secure the Pool Cover

A high-quality pool cover is essential for keeping out leaves, dirt, and debris. Aqua Management Partners offers professional installation services to ensure your cover is properly fitted. A secure cover helps prevent contaminants from entering the pool during the off-season​.

By following these steps, you can ensure your pool is well-maintained over the winter and ready for the next season.
