Maintaining your swimming pool during wintering

• November 

Has the water in your pool dropped below 12°C? You can now winterize your pool . But be careful, this does not mean that your pool no longer requires maintenance!

Indeed, if you live in a cold region and you have opted for passive wintering , you will not have to carry out any maintenance tasks before the spring restart . On the other hand, if your pool is in active wintering , you will have to check that the filtration is working properly, regularly check the pH of the water and correct it if necessary.

• December, January

For pool owners who live in cold regions of France, passive wintering may already be underway. In this case, you do not have to carry out any maintenance tasks at the moment. On the other hand, if you have carried out active wintering , a few checks must be carried out. Indeed, even if you are located in a region where the risk of frost is low, you will need to regularly check that the water in your pool does not freeze and that the filtration system is working properly. Also, remember to check the quality of your water to facilitate restarting as soon as the good weather returns.

Finally, remove any waste present in the skimmers daily .

• FEBRUARY

If your pool is in active wintering , the month of February is once again dedicated to monitoring your pool water : water treatment, pH control and cleaning the skimmers. On the contrary, in the case of a pool in passive wintering , you have nothing to do.

Maintaining your swimming pool during periods of intense activity

• March

During mild springs, it is not uncommon to see your pool thermostat exceed 12°C. In this case, you can restart your pool once you have checked the water level.

A shock treatment will also have to be carried out in order to eliminate any micro-organisms developed during wintering.

If you have carried out passive wintering, do not forget to clean the filter before restarting it.

• April

If March was rather cool, it is possible that your pool will not be ready for restart until April. If this is the case, you will need to follow the same precautions mentioned above.

Please note, if you want to enjoy the first swims of the year, remember to wait at least 24 hours after adding the disinfectant to your pool.

• May

With rising temperatures, it is not uncommon for bacteria to invite themselves inside your pool. To prevent your water from becoming cloudy or green , you will need to monitor the water quality daily but also clean the bottom and walls of your pool using a pool broom.

• June

Summer is fast approaching! More than ever, monitoring is essential to prevent algae from developing in your pool. So remember to remove floating debris from the surface of the water (leaves, insects) every day. Also monitor the various parameters of your pool (such as the pH of the water) and pour a dose of disinfectant into your pool once a week.

• July, August

July marks the beginning of vacation departures. Before the big day, use an anti-algae product as a preventative measure and cover your pool with a tarpaulin .

If you stay at home to enjoy your pool, be aware that you will need more treatment products for your pool water. Indeed, the more a pool is used, the more maintenance and cleaning it will need. So to keep your pool water healthy and clean, there is only one watchword: regularity!

• September

In September, nights get cooler depending on the region. To continue enjoying water at a good temperature, you can already cover your pool at the end of the day.
