About 'on ground pool'|Preparing Ground for above Ground Pool?








               As               summer               comes               to               a               close               and               fall               edges               into               the               horizon,               owners               of               an               above-ground               swimming               pool               will               need               to               give               thought               to               the               seasonal               routine               of               winterizing               their               pool               for               the               cold               season.

Some               mid-westerners               would               argue               that               the               summer               season               never               fully               hit               this               year               and               they               would               definitely               have               a               leg               to               stand               on               in               an               argument               over               the               issue,               however               in               the               end,               if               you               want               your               pool               to               open               next               season               with               as               little               ice               damage               as               possible               and               clean               water               to               boot,               following               these               simple               steps               for               a               pool               closing               will               be               of               great               benefit.
               1.

It's               best               to               wait               in               closing               your               pool               until               the               outside               temperature               drops               to               at               least               65°.

The               reason               for               this               is               that               organic               matter               is               less               likely               to               grow               in               cooler               water               and               your               pool               water               will               coincide               with               the               outside               temperature               giving               you               the               best               chance               of               both               closing               and               opening               without               algae.

2.

Try               to               adjust               your               Alkalinity               and               PH               (in               that               order)               as               best               as               you               can.

If               you               have               any               algae               at               all,               it               must               be               dealt               with               and               cleared-up               before               beginning               the               closing.

The               condition               of               your               water               at               closing               time               will               be               the               condition               of               your               water               when               you               open               your               pool               in               the               spring,               so               take               the               time               to               do               this               step               correctly.

3.

Stop               adding               chlorine               several               days               before               you               begin               the               closing               procedure.

Chlorine               will               burn               off               quickly               and               less               of               it               in               the               water               will               mean               less               chemicals               adhering               to               your               winter               cover               due               to               water               evaporation               which               results               in               less               wear               on               your               winter               cover.

4.

Purchase               a               chemical               closing               kit               at               your               local               pool               store               if               available.

These               types               of               kits               are               typically               found               at               specialty               stores.

They               typically               contain               several               pounds               of               non-chlorine               shock,               a               winter               algaecide               and               perhaps               some               sort               of               solidified               non-chlorine               shock               in               a               dispenser.

If               the               kit               isn't               available               in               your               area,               using               several               pounds               of               non-chlorine               shock               in               a               crystalline               form               and               some               strong               algaecide               will               work               as               a               substitute.

Add               the               chemicals               and               let               your               filtration               system               run               for               an               hour               or               so               to               mix               the               chemicals               up.

5.

Drain               your               pool               water               down               to               just               below               your               return.

Some               will               argue               that               it's               best               to               leave               the               pool               full               and               just               throw               a               cover               over               it               for               the               winter.

This               is               often               a               mistake               made               by               beginners               and               it               typically               results               in               ice-damming               on               your               pool               wall               over               the               winter               which               can               cause               damage               to               your               top-rails               as               well               as               the               liner.

Also,               draining               the               water               down               at               closing               means               that               fresh               water               will               need               to               be               added               in               the               spring               and               this               action               actually               dilutes               the               stabilizer               (cyanuric               acid)               in               the               pool               so               it               doesn't               build-up.

6.

It's               best               to               use               an               ice-compression               pillow               under               the               cover.

These               can               usually               be               purchased               for               around               $5-$10               depending               on               the               size.

Fill               the               pillow               only               half-full               of               air.

Less               air               means               the               pillow               will               cover               more               surface               area               on               the               water.

Position               the               pillow               in               the               middle               of               the               pool               using               twine               or               something               that               allows               it               to               be               secured               in               place               under               the               cover.

7.

Typically,               above               ground               winter               covers               will               come               out               of               the               box               either               three               or               four               feet               larger               than               the               pool               size.

The               distance               from               one               side               of               your               pool               to               the               other               from               inside               wall               to               inside               wall               denotes               your               pool               size.

Keep               in               mind               that               the               top               rails               add               size               to               the               pool               and               the               winter               cover               will               need               to               not               only               cover               your               pool               but               also               wrap               over               your               top-rails               in               order               to               properly               protect               everything.

My               suggestion               would               be               to               purchase               a               winter               cover               that               is               one               size               larger               than               the               pool               your               trying               to               close.

For               example,               in               closing               a               21'               pool,               purchase               a               24'               cover.

8.

Winter               covers               are               usually               available               in               different               weaves.

Some               will               say               7x7,               or               10x10               or               even               14x14.

These               numbers               denote               the               number               of               strands               of               material               running               vertically               and               horizontally               per               square               inch.

The               more               strands               per               square               inch               means               a               tighter               weave               and               subsequently               better               protection               for               the               pool.

9.

Leave               the               skimmer               open               and               plug               the               return.

As               the               water               freezes               in               your               pool               and               subsequently               climbs               the               pool               wall               as               it               expands,               allowing               an               opening               to               escape               out               as               the               water               freezes               and               thaws               resulting               in               less               damage               to               the               pool               in               the               spring.

10.

With               the               darkest               side               facing               down,               pull               the               winter               cover               over               your               pool.

String               the               steel               cable               through               the               grommet               holes               and               use               the               cover               winch               (usually               included               with               the               cover               purchase)               to               tighten               the               cable               in               place.

11.

Lastly,               take               out               the               garden               hose               and               add               some               water               to               the               top               of               the               pool               cover               evenly               distributing               it               around               the               cover.

Ideally,               adding               just               enough               water               to               put               a               thin               layer               on               the               cover               is               best.

The               reason               for               this               is               water               is               heavy               -               approximately               8.3lbs.

per               gallon.

Adding               several               gallons               of               water               over               the               cover               will               help               hold               it               down               and               prevent               air               from               getting               under               the               cover               while               you               wait               for               winter               to               set               in.

There               are               additional               tips               and               tricks               to               numerous               to               list               that               one               can               use               in               this               process,               but               these               are               the               basics               you               will               need               to               get               the               job               done.

Don't               forget               to               clean               out               your               filter               completely               and               store               it               indoors               for               the               winter               season.

Following               these               guidelines               will               hopefully               result               in               an               easy               spring               opening               and               clean               water               to               start               the               next               summer               season.
