Does the phrase “closing your pool for the winter” send chills down your spine or make you want to hire a pool maintenance service?  Winterizing kits can help you streamline this process because they have everything you need to close your pool included in terms of chemicals.  Most  kits are formulated for specific pool sizes – just order the kit to fit your pool.

Two types of kits, a chlorine based kit and a non-chlorine based kit

Winterizing Pool Chemicals

are available for you to choose from.  These kits should have Terminator algaecide,  Super Rust & Scale, and  Burst Shock included in them.

Super Strong Winter Pool Covers

When choosing an in-ground or above ground winter pool cover, most people  will consider quality along with  price.  An  in-ground winter cover  constructed of  high-grade woven polyethylene will give you the quality and durability you are looking for.  The super-strong woven strands of this type swimming pool cover will give you unsurpassed quality along with an affordable price range.   It should also be triple-laminated with a specially designed inner scrim that is extremely tough.  Premium coating is U.V.-protected to shield a cover from the damaging effects of sunlight.  Make sure the pool cover comes with loops every four feet to secure water bags, and strong corner grommets that allow for extra anchoring options in windy areas.

A huge bull frog made its way to our pool three times this summer.  We were able to catch him with a pool net and proudly release him into the field behind our house.  That means over our fence and a good distance from our swimming pool.  Well, he returned two more times. 

I do not like frogs or anything else that makes its fury or slimy little way into our pool.  I certainly want to spare the life of these little beings even though I can’t stand the sight of them.  Then I did some research and found a solution that also helps the environment at the same time.  I was  tired of the nasty job of removing frogs, mice or other critters from your pool skimmer.  Protective  Critter Skimmers are the perfect solution.
