When is the right time to close my swimming pool?
We often encounter this problem at the end of summer and before autumn. The fact is, there is a suitable time to close your swimming pool! As the children return to school, schedules change, and days become shorter, many pool owners choose to close the pool. However, closing the pool depends largely on temperature, not convenience.
Once the water temperature is consistently below 18 degrees, the swimming pool should be closed.
Temperature and other factors when closing the pool
We recommend that you close the swimming pool when the water reaches a constant 18 degrees for some key reasons.
Your pool chemicals have to work a lot harder in hotter temperatures. If the water temperature is not consistently cool, there’s no way the chemicals will last efficiently through the end of summer and into the winter months.
If the chemicals aren’t working properly or lasting through the season, that means your pool will be a breeding ground for algae, which can stain your liner and make for an extended pool opening process and more difficult cleaning in the spring.
Where you live will definitely have an impact on your water temperature and when you should close your pool. In most areas that experience winter, your water temperature will reach 18 degrees around early to mid-September. However, some warmer climates can keep their pool open well into October. A pool heater can also help you extend your pool season and keep your pool open longer.
As temperatures and seasons change, you might also see a lot more leaves and debris. In that case, a pool cover, additional chemicals, and water testing, and more frequent cleaning will be necessary as you make the most of the last few weeks in your pool.
