Friends roasting marshmallows next to swimming pool

As we head into the cooler months of the year, swim season is nearing an end. Just because you’re not enjoying your pool as much as you might during the summer, that doesn’t mean you should let your pool maintenance slide. In fact, by avoiding pool care in the winter, you can do more harm than good, resulting in bigger costs than you anticipated. Here are a three easy pool care tips to help you get through the winter months.

  1. Run the filter for 4 – 5 hours a day (compared to the typical 10 – 12 hours during summer months).
  2. If temperatures drop below freezing, run the pool pump continuously so pipes don’t freeze.
  3. Pools should be maintained and checked on a bi-weekly basis.

While these helpful tips will keep your pool in great shape over the cooler months, the last thing Texas pool owners want to do is spend their time caring for a pool that they’re not even swimming in.

If you don’t close your pool for the winter, but also don’t enjoy the weekly maintenance that comes with keeping your pool in good condition year-round, consider calling Pool Scouts to help.
