During the winter months it is not recommended that you shut down your pool entirely. By no means should you stop adding chemicals to your pool or stop running the water pump. For your benefit, here are a few tips on how to care for your pool during the winter months.
It is important that you maintain chemical levels in your pool during the winter, not doing so will lead to major problems trying to get your water balanced when you are ready to use the pool again. You must not stop the water pump, it is fine to cut down the time the pump runs to say eight hours a day, but it must be kept running. We recommend you continue to skim your pool for leaves and other debris. We also recommend that you have your water tested at regular intervals to ensure there is proper chemical balance. Now, winter is an ideal time to completely drain and sanitize your pool. This is something that should be done every two to three years.
