Do Not Drain Your Pool

It’s common to want to drain your pool to avoid overflowing and contamination. We strongly recommend keeping the water in your pool, as it helps to protect the walls and floor of the pool from scratches and other damages made from debris. Without the water in the pool, there’s a risk that it can pop out and create a space for water to accumulate under the pool, causing severe damage and complication requiring reconstruction from a swimming pool installation company. It’s safer and more straightforward to clean the water than to replace the whole pool. For assistance with pool cleaning, you can contact the Seaway Pools & Hot Tubs pool maintenance and swimming pool service team for expert attention.

Keep Your Pool Covered

Covering the pool may seem like a wise choice, but it is not always. When your pool water is well-balanced and clean, a properly secured cover can minimize intrusion of foreign elements that impact the clarity of your swimming pool water. As a leading swimming pool company in Southern Ontario, you can shop pool supplies online to facilitate your maintenance, or you can contact us for a custom sized pool cover. 

Make Sure Your Pool is Balanced

You are bound to clean up your pool area after a storm. Why not make it easier by conducting pre-storm cleaning? It may seem useless, but it really does work. Shocking your pool will prevent algae and other contaminants blown into the pool from growing. Balancing the pH levels and alkalinity of your pool before shocking it will maximize the cleaning powers of chlorine. Your pool will be ready to fight off any contaminants that come its way. 

Turn Off All Electrical Sources

It’s a given that water and electricity do not mix very well. Prevent any risk of electrocution by switching off any electrical machine in your backyard; heater, water pump, filter system, chlorine generator, etc. Even when turned off, these parts can be damaged by flying debris. Ensure to cover them to prevent the cost of replacement. Invest in a waterproof cover and ensure it is tightly secured to the equipment. This will also reduce your energy bill, as it is not using energy when it doesn’t need to.
