Tips on Operating, Care, Installation & Maintenance
A few weeks ago on this blog, we gave you video instructions on how to install your pool safety cover, but what if you NEED a safety cover? Measuring can be tricky if you have a non-traditional shaped pool. Check out the video below for detailed instructions on how to get the proper measurements to ensure that you get the perfect cover for your pool!
Most people have already closed their pool for the season and protected it with a winter or safety cover. Have you thought of the other things that need protection around your pool? Pool heaters, when not in use, should be covered to be sure that they are not damaged by snow or ice. All floats, rafts, and pool toys should be stored away in a dry environment and left out in the elements. Diving board covers provide protection from staining that can occur from debris that rests on the board. This eliminates the need to remove the board and find a dry, warm place to store it during the winter months. You may also want to consider adding a leaf net over your winter cover to make spring opening a breeze.
The pool off season is a perfect time to check all of your pool maintenance equipment to make sure that it is in great shape and ready for next season. Check for holes in skimmers, leaf rakes, and pool vacuum bags. Look for cracks or damage to plastic pieces on brushes and handles, vacuum hoses, and etc. Keeping this equipment clean, whole, and in working order will ensure that opening your pool next season will be a breeze! Replace any necessary maintenance tools now to avoid opening day drama in the spring.
