Water Chemistry

Often overlooked is the importance of maintaining your Water Chemistry late in the Season.

Protect your investment!

Ensure that your Water Chemistry is balanced. Make the necessary adjustments in advance of your Pool Closing.

Avoid the damaging properties of unbalanced water while increasing the effectiveness of the winterizing chemicals.

The management of factors such as pH, total alkalinity, calcium harness up until your closing date, will help to provide protection against costly repairs due to corrosion or scaling.

Chemical Kits

Available through Aquadam Pool Services are a variety of Chemical products and packages from Mursatt Chemicals Ltd.

The addition of a

WinterCare Chemical Kit

that includes a Shock Treatment, an Algaecide and a Stain & Scale product as a preventative measure is recommended.

These are all pool chemicals that will help to ensure water clarity next year.

Prior to our Arrival

Please ensure that our Service Technicians will have access your backyard.

Winter Covers, Waterbags and Winterizing Plugs should be removed from storage and made available.

We will require the use of exterior water faucets. Please do NOT winterize your faucets from within your home prior to your Pool Closing.

We will require the use of a functioning exterior Electrical Outlet to complete your Pool Closing.

Clients who have sump wells should begin to pump them down at least 48 hours prior to their scheduled closing date.

Please Remember

A vacuum of the pool is not included with our Pool Closing.

We strongly recommend minimizing bottom debris prior to your scheduled closing date.

Closing your pool clean will result in less work next spring while increasing the effectiveness of winterizing chemicals.

Water Clarity Next Spring

In the case of Waterbag Covers or Lock In Covers:

The most significant factor influencing water clarity in the spring is the condition of your Winter Cover.

Over time, certain types of covers may wear thin and become porous, allowing debris to pass through the cover and settle on the bottom.

In most cases, it is essential to create a distinct barrier between the pool water and surface debris collected during the winter.

If you suspect your winter cover is in need of replacement, please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss replacement cover options.

Waterbag Covers, Lock in Covers, and Custom Safety Covers are all available through Aquadam Pool Services.
