Swimming pool owners living in warmer climes may have the option of leaving their pools uncovered and operational throughout the winter months. Even if the water temperature is too low to enjoy a refreshing dip, you can still entertain poolside during crisp days and enjoy your outdoor amenities around the pool without an unsightly cover in the way.
Opting for year-round pool maintenance, rather than closing and covering your pool, will require a bit of special attention. If your swimming pool is surrounded by a large number of trees, for instance, you will need to work with a professional swimming pool service to create a feasible plan of action for keeping the water free of fallen leaves and other autumn or winter debris.
Time is money in today’s fast-paced world, which means that most homeowners who choose year-round pool maintenance decide to establish a maintenance schedule with an established and reputable professional pool service. This includes routine filter cleaning, inspections for leaks and deterioration, and balancing chemical levels. Because algae growth may be possible even during the winter months, you’ll also want to make sure your pool is carefully cleaned and the interior is regularly brushed.
Working with a professional pool service technician to determine the needs of your particular property and the feasibility of maintaining an open pool year-round in your region. The long-term health and safety of your pool will depend upon how well it’s maintained during periods of dramatically reduced usage, such as the dormant winter months. Even if you’re not swimming in December, your pool will require the continued attention of a swimming pool technician on a regular basis if it’s to remain open throughout the year.
