When Should You Close Your Pool In Buffalo?
The best time to close your pool is in early October as the leaves change colors around Buffalo. You can enjoy your pool a little longer after the end of summer with a pool heater, but you’ll want to close your pool early enough to avoid fishing out leaves from your pool for hours. However, you don’t want to close your pool too early, as you need the pool temperature to be around 60 degrees consistently so that bacteria and algae reach dormancy.
What Happens If You Don’t Winterize Your Pool?
We see a lot of damaged pools around the spring and summer because some owners didn’t close their pools properly. From cracked pipes and filters to uneven foundations, some owners drain too much water or too little and call us in for repairs. The other problem you could face is not treating your water with the right amount of chlorine and stabilizers. This can lead to aggressive algae growth during the spring before you use your pool, leading to an unpleasant surprise when you open the pool cover and have to spend much more effort to clean it out.
