It is the time of year when summer is fading, school is back in session, and the swimming pools are not getting the use that they have been. In fact, they are probably not getting any use at all as it is time to winterize them in preparation for the colder months ahead. It is also time to ask yourself if you have the pool supplies you need to prepare your pool for winter. What pool supplies do you need to winterize your pool? Great question. Here at Outside In Leisure Products, we are happy to discuss your pool product needs with you.
First, it is important to understand why you need to winterize your pool. As your pool sits through the next few months, it can grow bacteria and other contaminants, freeze water and/or pipes, or cause other damage from not being properly prepared for the winter. Preparing your pool for the winter also makes it easier to open and freshen it up in the spring when you are preparing for summer. So, while that seems like a long time away, preparation starts now to save you so much trouble later.
Steps you need to take to prepare your pool for winter involve getting the right pool supplies to clean the water of any debris and chemically balance your pool. Depending on your pool, other steps may include winterizing pipes, cleaning, and properly storing pool equipment. Though the idea may seem simple enough, please feel free to reach out to our team of knowledgeable professionals to make sure you have the right pool supplies and information to properly care for your pool this winter.
