How to Extend Your Pool Season

Summer is a great time to enjoy your pool, but the season doesn't have to end when the weather starts to cool down. With a little planning and effort, you can extend your pool season for several more months.

Tips on How to Extend Your Pool Season

• Keep your pool clean and clear. This is essential for maintaining a healthy pool, but it's especially important in the fall and winter months when the water is more susceptible to contamination. Be sure to test your pool water regularly and add chemicals as needed.
• Use a pool heater. If you have a pool heater, you can extend your pool season by several weeks or even months. Pool heaters come in a variety of sizes and styles, so you can find one that's right for your pool and your budget.
• Cover your pool. A pool cover can help to keep your pool warm in the fall and winter months. It can also help to prevent leaves and debris from getting into your pool, which can make it more difficult to maintain.
• Plant trees around your pool. Trees can help to shade your pool and keep the water cooler in the summer months. In the fall and winter months, the trees will help to block the wind and keep the water warmer.
• Use a solar blanket. A solar blanket is a thin, plastic sheet that you lay on top of your pool. It helps to trap heat from the sun and keep your pool warm. Solar blankets are relatively inexpensive and easy to use.
• Change your pool filter. In the fall and winter months, your pool filter will need to work harder to keep your pool clean. Be sure to change your filter regularly to ensure that it's working properly.
• Be patient. It takes time to extend your pool season. Don't expect to be able to swim in your pool all winter long. However, if you follow these tips, you can extend your pool season by several months and enjoy your pool for longer.

Additional Tips to Extend Your Pool Season

• Flock your pool. Flocking is a process that coats your pool water with a thin layer of polymer. This helps to keep the water warmer and prevents algae from growing.
• Use a pool dehumidifier. A pool dehumidifier can help to remove moisture from the air around your pool. This can help to prevent the water from evaporating and keep your pool warmer.
• Move your pool heater indoors. If you have a portable pool heater, you can move it indoors during the winter months. This will help to extend the life of your heater and keep it in good working order.

By following these tips, you can extend your pool season and enjoy your pool for longer. So don't put away your pool toys just yet, there's still plenty of time to swim!
