How to Care for Your Pool While It Snows
Step 1
Turn off the pool heater before you begin.
Step 2
Remove all pool accessories. Take away the stairs, ladders, rafts, toys and other items and store them properly.
Step 3
Winterize your pool pump and water lines. If you have an above-ground pool, you likely can thoroughly drain your pump and store it in a protected shelter. Remove the flexible water hoses and cap the water line openings to prevent drainage.
Step 4
Chemically balance the pool water. Starting the winter with the proper chemicals helps to protect your pool from scale (hard water buildup) and corrosion. Test and adjust the pH, calcium hardness, chlorine and total alkalinity levels as necessary.
Step 5
Shock the water. Add a shock product, following the product instructions to determine the proper amount according to the pool size. Shocking raises the chlorine levels.
Step 6
Run the filter. Allow the pump and filter to run for several hours – a minimum of eight to 12 if possible.
Step 7
Add winterizing chemicals if preferred. Specially packaged pool chemicals for winter closing make it simple to add the included items according to the pool size. Broadcast these chemicals from the deep end or by walking around the pool.
