Cold weather on the horizon. Find out what you need to do to have your pool ready.

We carry all the necessary chemicals and equipment you will need if you decide to close your pool for the winter.  Mention you saw this blog, and get $1.00 off a 1 pound bag of pool shock.

Most people in this area don't shut down their pools just because it's a bit too cold to swim.  No matter the temperature, they are still beautiful to look at. 

At this time of year, you might consider a gas pool heater or solar cover.  Quite a few people have asked me about the cost of running a pool heater.  It is definitely not something you would want to run constantly.  You will typically need to get your heater cranked up about 18+ hours before you will be using the pool.  To keep it warm for your weekend party, you should expect to spend between $50 and $75.  Gas is definitelely the most efficient and effective heater type for our climate.

Concerned about your pool lines and equipment freezing up when the temperature drops below 32.  You might want to upgrade your equipment with automatic freeze control.  Your pump will automatically turn on and stay on when the temperature gets near the freezing point.
