Each winter, many people will have to close down their garden swimming pool and there are various steps you will need to take to make sure the job is done correctly.
First check the alkalinity and calcium hardness of the water in the pool, and add pool chemicals if they are required. Cleaning the water is vital and it can prevent your garden swimming pool from getting stains. If you haven’t; done so already, dropping the water level is important, and cleaning your filters will certainly be an important aspect.
Once your water level is down, you should place a winter cover over the top; this is probably the most important aspect of closing down your garden swimming pool. We would recommend a safety cover as it prevents contamination and it can actually save lives, to stop children, pets, and even adults falling in. Before you pull out the Christmas tree, make sure you haven’t forgotten about your pool, and prepare it for winter.
