When the temperature drops in the winter months, keeping your swimming pool open can become a costly and time consuming excercise. For this reason we recommend you winterise your swimming pool to save on time, chemicals and electricity costs - especially when it's too cold to use.

Every month

Check water swimming pool level & chemistry

Clean the swimming pool debris cover and the edge overlap

If using a swimming pool Froststat - clean the swimming pool pump basket and backwash the filter

If the swimming pool level is high - lower it by turning the multi-port valve to waste or if the equipment has been drained use a submersible pump to pump to waste.

Swimming Pool Winterizing Chemicals

Shock treat the swimming pool water with sodium hypochlorite (liquid shock chlorine) or calcium hypochlorite (granular shock chlorine) with the recommended dose for your swimming pool volume.

Check and re-adjust the pH using pH minus/plus adjusters.

Add the winterizing fluid (long term algaecide).
