POOL MAINTENANCE Section WINTERIZING YOUR POOL WINTERIZING YOUR POOL Along with the cool nights of autumn comes the end of the swimming season. During the winter your pool is subject to more stress than in the summer, and any breakage that is caused by incorrect winter procedures is not subject to any warranty with this company.
POOL MAINTENANCE Section WINTERIZING YOUR POOL WINTERIZING INSTRUCTIONS For areas where water freezes make sure to follow these instructions before the water is frozen, otherwise do not touch the frozen water, this may damage the pool. Towards the end of the summer season or around mid-August, check for leaks by verifying if the pool’s water level is stable.
Page 68
POOL MAINTENANCE Section WINTERIZING YOUR POOL WINTERIZING INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED To maintain water quality, use a winter kit which contains an algicide and chlorine especially designed for this purpose. When it’s time for spring cleaning, this will save you hours of work and reduce the cost of chemicals needed to restore your water quality.
Page 69
POOL MAINTENANCE Section SPRINGTIME CLEANING OF YOUR POOL PREPARING YOUR POOL IN THE SPRING At the end of winter, allow the ice in the pool to thaw completely. When the temperature reaches approximately 10 °C (50 °F), you have to restart your filtration system, since algae and bacterial form more quickly as it gets warmer.
Page 70
POOL MAINTENANCE Section SPRINGTIME CLEANING OF YOUR POOL PREPARING YOUR POOL IN THE SPRING CONTINUED When the pH and alkaline levels are ideal, apply a shock-treatment or chlorinate your water. Let it filter for 24 hours and again verify both the pH and free chlorine l evels. NOTE: Add chemical products to your pool after sunset, as sunlight rapidly destroys chlorine.
