🌪️ Hurricane Season Pool Care Tips 🌪️

With hurricane season upon us, it’s crucial to protect your inground pool from the elements. Here are some essential tips to keep your pool in top shape before and after the storm:

  1. Manage Your Water Level:
    • Before the Storm: Lower your water level slightly, but don’t empty it completely. A partially filled pool provides stability against high winds and heavy rain.
    • After the Storm: Check for excessive water levels and use a submersible pump if necessary to prevent overflow.
  2. Protect Your Equipment:
    • Power Down: Turn off all pool equipment, including the pump and filter, to prevent electrical damage.
    • Secure Loose Items: Store pool accessories and cover any exposed equipment to avoid damage from flying debris.
  3. Re-Balance Your Chemicals:
    • Post-Storm Cleaning: Remove debris and clean your pool thoroughly.
    • Test and Adjust: Test your water’s chemical levels and adjust as needed. Heavy rain can dilute chemicals, so be ready to rebalance chlorine and pH levels.

Stay safe and prepared this hurricane season! 🌊🏊‍♂️
