Here are some tips for maintaining a pool for winter in Arizona:Clean the pool: A thorough cleaning removes debris, algae spores, and other contaminants. Balance the pH: Use a test kit to adjust the pH level to between 7.2 and 7.8. Add chlorine shock: This eliminates bacteria and algae that can cause problems when the pool is out of use. Install a pool cover: A cover protects the pool from the elements, keeps out debris, and prevents algae growth. Lower the water level: Reduce the amount of water in the pool by a few inches or up to a foot. This makes it easier to maintain and reduces the area for bacteria to spread. Check the water chemistry: Regularly check the pH and chemical balance of the water to prevent problems like cloudiness, algae growth, and corrosion. Winterizing your pool helps protect it from freezing temperatures, debris, and algae growth, which can save you time and money on maintenance and repairs.pool safety
Secure Your Pool When Not in UseCompletely surround your pool with four-sided isolation fencing with a self-closing and self-latching gate that is out of the reach of a child.A four-sided isolation fence (separating the pool area from the house and yard) reduces a child’s risk of drowning 83% compared to three-sided property-line fencing.For above-ground pools, secure, lock or remove steps, ladders and anything that can be used for access (such as outdoor furniture and toys) whenever the pool is not being actively supervised by an adult.Install a secondary barrier, such as:Door alarms and locks that are out of the reach of a child on all doors and windows with direct access to the pool or spa area.
