Since your pool will be the life of the party, it's imperative to make it as safe and attractive as possible. Consider these essentials:
Heating your swimming pool - A heat pump or gas heater will keep your guests warm in the pool, even on a cold night.
Covering the pool - It's helpful to keep your pool covered so that it absorbs as much heat as possible. In the winter, heat will dissipate faster when it's cold outside, so covering the pool helps prevent costly heat loss.
Automatic Timer - Your pool will be safer and need less maintenance when you install an automatic timer. Not only will it keep the water warm and prevent your pool from freezing, but it also helps keep your water clean. You can program it for a specific time and temperature setting.
Healthy balanced water - Use safe winter pool sanitizers such as chlorine, bromine, or biguanide to provide germ-free water balance. It's important to maintain proper pH levels in the water and other factors affecting water quality, such as ideal calcium hardness.
Water flow - The faster water molecules move, the more they heat up, which is why you need a powerful and fast speed pump with controls to adjust speed. Be sure to inspect your pool pump, pool filter, and skimmer to assess proper water flow.
