Maintaining your pool throughout winter.

Once the winter pool cover goes on, it's easy to think you can just switch off. But actually, if you don't maintain your pool over winter the water can go green. You can also have chlorine problems, surface staining and equipment damage. These problems will cost you time and money.
This can be prevented by using our winter program and making the following preparations before you close your pool for winter:
1. Test your pool water, bring it in to us at Splash Water.
2. Vacuum and brush the walls of your pool.
3. Clean out the skimmer basket and the pump's hair/lint basket.
4. Backwash and clean the filter thoroughly with BioGuard® Filter Brite™.
5. Add a winter shock treatment such as BioGuard® Lite® or BioGuard® Salt Pool Sparkle®.
6. Protect the pool from algae with an algae inhibitor such as BioGuard® Back-Up® II.
7. Cover your pool to keep it debris free.
8. Don't forget to let the pump run for at least 6 hours per day over winter.
