When it comes to pool care, there are so many things you have to think about. There is regular maintenance, cleaning, predicting leaks and so much more. What if you decide to close your pool for some time because of weather? There are two ways to close down a pool; it all depends on if your pool is above ground or an in-ground pool.

The most important thing in Pool Maintenance is water sanitization. You can use chlorine or bromine-based compounds (once in a day) to prevent bacteria growth and reduce algae formation in the pool water.

After vacuuming the pool, you need to pour in your closing kit liquid. There are many different types to choose from. Be sure to follow the directions when you have chosen what kind of kit you want. Check the lines to make sure there is no water inside of the lines to freeze or rot the line while your pool is not in use. When all the water is gone from the lines, you can remove the plugs in the pump. If your pool has a chlorinator, you will need to remove it for the duration of the time your pool is closed. Make sure your it is empty and has no water in it. This will help prevent the freezing and breaking of your chlorinator. If your pool has a heater, make sure it is off so that you don't try to heat nothing. This could cause a fire or cracking of your pool.

Now you need to focus on the obvious items in your pool care regimen. If your pool has a ladder or anything that is an additive, it needs to be taken down. This will prevent your closed pool from being a hazard. If you can remove the parts that are added, be sure that you completely remove the items. This will help you make sure that your cover will not slide or fall off.

One must also remove dead leaves and debris that accumulated in pool water after a windstorm. These particles often imbalance water purity; thus, experts advise pool owners to test Ph levels regularly. The ideal Ph level is 7.4.
