It begins when the pool stops being disinfected after the summer and becomes enriched with algae, insects, leaves, etc., which rot and give the water a nauseating appearance, reducing its organoleptic characteristics and ultimately its quality. Although the time of year when the pool is most used is, obviously, summer, when the cold months arrive, it is not advisable to forget about its care. Once the bathing season is over, it is necessary to leave the installation to rest. The wintering process requires a series of actions to facilitate the start-up in the following season. In addition, at present, the problems of water scarcity are important and, for this reason, more and more individuals are deciding to conserve the water in their swimming pool from one year to the next. In this way they avoid having to fill it completely every summer. WATER TREATMENT The points to take into account in the wintering process are the following: • The pool should never be completely emptied during the wintering period, especially in areas with extreme weather conditions. The pool water acts as a stabilizer of the pressures that act on the walls and the bottom of the glass. In addition, the water acts as a thermal insulator, preventing ground contractions in times of frost. • Clean the pool well, scrubbing walls and using pool cleaning equipment. • When the water temperature is below 15ºc, adjust the pH with pH lowering or + pH increasing between 7.2 and 7.6 and shock chlorination (15 gr. per m3 of water). • Leave the filter running and the next day add the greenhouse if your pool is made of fiber, liner or polyester (5 liters per 100 m3 of water). This procedure stabilizes the water so that algae do not grow, insects, worms, microorganisms ... • Analyze the water to have a pH between 7.2 and 7.6, but correct it with a pH lowering or pH increasing and leave operating the filter for about 8 hours to achieve a perfect distribution of the product in the water. • Clean the filter with Filter Descaler, remember to do a good backwash and rinse after cleaning the filter and cover your pool with a cover. These doses are for guidance only, and can be modified depending on the characteristics of each pool, weather conditions, etc. The product should be added preferably at sunset and without the presence of bathers in the pool water. IT IS IMPORTANT TO REPEAT THESE STEPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINTER SEASON.
