As summertime approaches, many seasonal residents or “snowbirds” are heading back up north and want to get their pool ready for the off-season. If you are a homeowner in Florida but a seasonal resident, it’s important to make sure your pool remains maintained throughout summer while you are out of town.
Monitor your water level
Pool water levels can vary due to strong storms, as evaporation well as the summer heat. Be sure your water is at an appropriate level before you leave town and find a pool company that can check it regularly throughout your time out of town.
Balance Your Pool Chemistry
Check your pool’s chlorine, calcium, pH, and alkalinity to ensure it is balanced before you leave for the season. Correct chemical levels decrease the chance of harmful disease and the amount of maintenance that will be necessary.
Set Your Pool Equipment
Since you will not be in town, you can adjust your pump, heater, and other equipment accordingly. Edgewater Pools recommends that you set your pool pump to run for no more than 8 hours per day while away.
Consider Pool Automation
Pool automation is a great option for you to remotely control your pool. Pool automation systems allows you to control your pool equipment from a smartphone, tablet, or web-connected device. This way you have the peace of mind to be able to adjust your pool equipment if needed while you are not home.
Schedule Pool Maintenance Service
The best way to maintain your pool while you are out of town is to find a reliable pool company to provide regular maintenance and cleaning service. They will remove debris, check water level and chemicals, and make sure that your pool is taken care of while you are gone.
