Few things provide more pleasure than diving into a crystal clear pool after a long, hot day. However pools can be a big source of frustration and expense if they are not taken care of properly. Cloudy water and algae are sure signs that your pool needs a maintenance review. When you are caring for your pool, you need to come up with a plan for when you want to close your pool. If you have an in-ground pool, you will need to check your pools water to make sure that the pH levels are where they need to be. Once you have checked the pool water, you need to shock your pool. By shocking your pool, you are jump starting your pool to clean itself. Now you wait for a day to continue closing down your in-ground pool. If there is anything in your pool, you need to clean it out so that it won't contaminate your pool later. After it is completely cleaned, you need to vacuum the pool. This will ensure that the pool has nothing in it. Leftover debris will make ongoing pool care far more difficult when you reopen your pool. After vacuuming the pool, you need to pour in your closing kit liquid. There are many different types to choose from. Be sure to follow the directions when you have chosen what kind of kit you want. Check the lines to make sure there is no water inside of the lines to freeze or rot the line while your pool is not in use. When all the water is gone from the lines, you can remove the plugs in the pump. If your pool has a chlorinator, you will need to remove it for the duration of the time your pool is closed. Make sure your it is empty and has no water in it. This will help prevent the freezing and breaking of your chlorinator. If your pool has a heater, make sure it is off so that you don't try to heat nothing. This could cause a fire or cracking of your pool. During seasonal changes, one must take special care of pool water. After heavy rains, we often see that pool water becomes heavier and loses its clarity as well. To purify it, experts advise to add a shock dose (3-4 times more than usual intake) of chlorine to get the water back to normal. Once all of the added items are taken off, you need to cover your pool. This will help keep people from falling as well as keep your pool safer from the harsh weather you might have. Put your cover on tightly so that it will not have any chance of falling off. Once your cover is on, you have successfully closed down your in-ground pool.
