Pool Maintenance Tips for Winter

Living on Maryland's Eastern Shore means preparing your swimming pool for all four seasons. At KustomScapes & Pools, LLC., we proudly offer a comprehensive winter pool maintenance package, along with essential pool care tips to help pool owners preserve their investment during the colder months. Whether you have a fiberglass pool, salt water system, or hot tub, proactive maintenance tasks during winter will keep your pool surfaces and pool system in top condition.

Prepping for the Off-Season

Wondering how winter pool care should look? Here are some essential maintenance tips for your pool care checklist.

Be on the lookout: Regularly remove debris buildup from your pool cover and use a pool cover pump to remove excess rainwater. Debris left unattended can cause waterline scum, damage tile lines, and wear down covers over time.
Keep it clean: Prevent algae growth by staying on top of pool cleaning. Brush down pool walls and vacuum the floor to eliminate organic matter that leads to pool algae treatment needs later. This protects your pool plaster and other surfaces from staining and UV degradation.
Monitor your water: Track pool water level and water quality weekly. Use proper pool water testing tips to maintain pH levels, chlorine levels, sanitizer levels, and chemical balance. Unbalanced pool chemistry can damage equipment and lead to pool problems in spring.
Prevent freezing: Cold temperatures require freeze protection for your plumbing and filtration system. Ensure all lines are properly winterized and consider a freeze guard to safeguard against damage.
