1. Balance Your Pool Water
Start by testing and adjusting your pool water’s pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness levels. Properly balanced water prevents corrosion and scaling, protecting both your pool surface and equipment. Aim for a pH level between 7.2 and 7.6 and ensure the alkalinity is within the 80-120 ppm range.
2. Thoroughly Clean the Pool
Skim any debris from the surface, brush the walls, and vacuum the bottom to remove dirt and algae. A deep clean now will save you time and effort when it’s time to reopen the pool in the spring. Don’t forget to clean the pool filter as well—it’s essential to start the off-season with a clean, properly functioning filter system.
3. Lower the Water Level
Drain your pool water to below the skimmer level. Lowering the water level prevents freeze damage that could harm your skimmer, filter, and pump during colder months. Remember not to drain too much—just enough to protect your equipment.
4. Add Winter Chemicals
Applying winterizing chemicals, like a pool algaecide or a winter pool shock treatment, helps prevent algae growth and keep your water as clear as possible during the off-season. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the best results and safety.
5. Protect Pool Equipment and Accessories
Drain any remaining water from pool equipment like the pump, heater, and filter, and store accessories like ladders, diving boards, and skimmer baskets in a dry place to avoid damage.
6. Cover Your Pool Securely
Finally, cover your pool with a high-quality winter pool cover. This keeps out debris, prevents algae growth, and reduces the chance of accidental entry. Ensure the cover is securely in place and check it periodically throughout the winter to make sure it’s holding up against the weather.
