Winterising

There are two main ways in which to do this:

Option 1

Thoroughly clean and vacuum your pool.

All pool accessories ie. covers, reel systems and ladders should be properly washed and then stored in a safe place.

Contact Mister Sparkle Swimming Pools and request the installation of a "Frost Protection Thermostat". This should eb set to approximately 3 - 5 degrees centigrade above the point of freezing. This will enable the filtration system to start running should the temperature fall to that point.

You now need to balance your pool water by checking the pH, total alkalinity and total hardness, shock dosing if needed.

The pool should now be covered with an adequate winter debris cover.

Option 2

Thoroughly clean and vacuum your pool.

Lower the water level to beneath the skimmer and drain the heater, pump, filter and any other water accessories. We also suggest that you fill the skimmer with polystyrene or a similar material.

The pool should now be covered with an adequate winter debris cover.

You must inspect the water level on a regular basis, especially after heavy rainfall, to ensure the level of the water does not rise above the skimmer.

You will require a submersible pump, or similar device, to remove excess water which can be supplied by Mister Sparkle Swimming Pools.
