How to Keep Your Pool in Top Shape This Winter

Even during the off-season, your pool needs attention to stay in excellent condition. Winter maintenance ensures your pool remains functional, clean, and ready for springtime fun. At Superior Pools, we’ve put together this expanded guide to help you protect your investment. Here are our top tips for winter pool care:

Monitor Your Pool Cover: A well-maintained pool cover is your pool’s first line of defense against debris, snow, and ice. Regularly check for fallen leaves, dirt, or water accumulation on the cover. Use a pool cover pump to remove standing water, which can cause damage if left unattended.

Keep Your Water Level in Check: Fluctuating winter temperatures can lead to water expansion and contraction, which might damage your pool’s plumbing or walls. Ensure the water level stays slightly below the skimmer to avoid unnecessary pressure.

Check Chemical Levels: Even when the pool isn’t in use, chemical imbalances can cause long-term problems like algae growth or staining. Regularly test your water’s pH and chlorine levels and make adjustments as needed.

Inspect Your Equipment: Your pump, filter, and heater should be checked periodically to ensure they’re in working order. Inspect for cracks, leaks, or freezing components. Addressing small issues now can save you from expensive repairs in the future.
