"Winter" in Florida

Luckily, living in #Florida allows us to not have to “#winterize” our pools every season. Though there are some steps you need to start/maintain to make sure your pool is healthy and operating so it’s ready for spring! 
With your pool being “out of sight and out of mind” during those couple weeks it is too cold to swim in, many households make the biggest #mistake they can do to their pool… they STOP #cleaning it.
You need to continue cleaning your pool weekly if not every other week. Make sure your filter is clean and the vacuum as well, clearing out any debris that has made it’s way in. Leaves can look harmless, but cause clogs in your pool and a larger headache later.
Next, you should continue to #monitor the water level. In Florida, we always think about lowering the water level due to increase of rain… however, it works the other way as well. Evaporation can lower water levels and can even drop 1 or 2 inches per week. So monitor, and add water as needed.
It’s also important to prevent the algae build-up. Keep the water in your pool circulating and test the chemical levels of your pool, even in the winter algae can grow in Florida and it’s important to stop a problem before it arises!
Lastly but certainly NOT least, you may want to invest in a pool heater. You spent a great #investment on your pool, so why not enjoy it all year round? And luckily, Blue Ribbon Pools is right nearby to install anything you need. And if all the above sounds too strenuous, hire us to do it for you on a monthly basis so we can keep your vacation water healthy.
