It’s tempting to just throw a cover over the pool during the winter and forget about it until spring, but don’t be fooled—your pool needs year-round maintenance to make sure it stays in top shape. Distinctive Swimming Pools in Washington, CT, wants your pool to stay healthy, even when you aren't using it during the off-season.

Here are a few ways you can benefit from winter services from Distinctive Swimming Pools:

• Winterizing: One of the biggest benefits of swimming pool maintenance during the off-season is that the experts from Distinctive Swimming Pools will prepare your pool for winter. In addition to preventing your system from freezing, they will add all the necessary chemicals to keep your pool clear and easier to clean up in the spring.
• Safety: Another benefit of employing a swimming pool maintenance company during the colder months is that professionals will keep you and your family safe. Distinctive Swimming Pools' technicians will regularly come to check on your pool to make sure its cover is properly fitted and that its other components are functioning properly. 
• Preventive Maintenance: Distinctive Swimming Pools offer's its customer Winter Maintenance Packages which help keep the water level at the proper heights through out the winter months to help allieviate damage to tile and coping. They also make sure the pool is holding water and that there are no leaks in the pool. A pool with no water in it is extremely dangerous for the structure. Many times small leaks go unnoticed through the summer months and are not discovered until the pool is closed and no water is being added.

• Opening: When the weather starts to improve, a swimming pool maintenance company will help you get your pool ready for use by adding chlorine, vacuuming any waste from the bottom of the pool, and checking all of its pumps and other equipment. This will ensure that it will be ready to use as soon as the weather is warm enough.

Making sure that your pool is balanced and clean will help to preserve its usefulness and extend its lifetime.
