With summer at an end, it’s time to change up your pool care priorities. Although you’ll likely be using your pool a lot less during the fall season, you’ll still have a healthy amount of maintenance on your hands. Here are three tips to help you take care of it as the weather cools:

swimming poolRemove Leaves

One of the most tedious tasks that comes with the fall season is keeping up with all the leaves falling into your pool. It’s important to remove the debris and vacuum your pool regularly. Otherwise, the leaves can lead to staining, suction lines, and issues with the pool’s filtration system.

Continue Chemical Treatment 

Just because there is less pool usage during the fall doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to slack on your chemical treatments. Your pool needs to be below 60 degrees before it can avoid the risk of algae growth. Until then, it’s important to regularly test the water balance and keep adjusting the chemicals in your pool.

Check Water Level

It’s important to keep a close eye on your pool’s water levels during the fall. Although it’s reduced, water evaporation still occurs in autumn. Properly managing your pool’s water level is vital, as it prevents excessive air from entering your filter and damaging the pump.
