How to maintain a pool during the coldest times of the year

If not maintained properly, your pool that has been left aside for a while can suffer. We have compiled 4 valuable tips for pool maintenance to avoid extra work when summer comes:

Cleaning

The cleaning that you usually do in the summer months is also necessary in the winter months, although less frequently. This operation guarantees greater durability of the coating and the installations. Try to take advantage of the beginning of winter to invest in special cleaning, because during this cold season people forget about your pool and with it the maintenance price drops significantly. Maintenance is usually around R$ 1,000.00 in the warmer months and drops to around R$ 500.00. As the best professionals have a slackening in the agenda during the winter months, the supply of skilled labor also increases.

Covering with canvas is still one of the best options. However, it is important to stretch the material well to prevent puddling during rainy periods and when this happens, always be careful to drain the water and prevent the dengue mosquito from focusing on one area of ​​your Home.

For more heavy maintenance, such as brushing tiles or polishing the fiber, choose a warmer day of the season. This will ensure a longer service life and guaranteed cleanliness for the next season.

Equipments

Pumps and other equipment also deserve rest and maintenance. If something seemed out of place in the previous season, take advantage of the winter and the low company prices and send everything for inspection. The engine is one of the components that usually gives the most trouble, take it to lubrication, adjust possible defects and leave everything for the warmer seasons.

Do you know the float or float that spent the whole winter in the pool? Try not to repeat the mistake this year. Remove all equipment and objects that can come off the canvas or remain in the water. In addition to worsening the quality and speed of maintenance, this typical summer equipment can be the cause of fungi and bacteria.

Is it empty or not?

Currently, pools need water to keep the materials they cover “aqueous”. Therefore, removing all the water can cause the tiles and fibers to crack and make maintenance costs even more expensive in the summer. It is best to drain about 50 cm and leave the rest of the water, always keeping the phd and chlorine as used.

Reforms

Have you broken a tile, an unwanted hole or green spot has appeared in the pool in the middle of summer or winter? Take advantage of the cold season and carry out the necessary reforms. Although the drying and finishing processes take a little longer, the price is much lower and the quality much higher than the same service in the summer, which tends to be more controversial.
