Living in the south we get cold weather at some point during the year, it’s common to assume there is no other option but to close your pool during the off-season–especially in pools without freeze protection. But, did you know you can keep your pipes from freezing by running your pump during freezing temperatures? There are multiple benefits of keeping your pool open all year.

Some of which include the following: 

•      Landscape – As a pool owner, you know attractive your yard looks during the summer compared to the winter. Looking out the window and seeing a gray sky and a large pool cover is a dreary reminder that summer has come and gone. How about looking outside to see your beautiful, crystal-clear pool? Definitely a more pleasant view.

•       Swim All Year – Yes, you can still swim in the winter! I mean, why not? Swimming doesn’t have to be just a summer activity. An even better reason to keep your pool open all year. If you already have a pool heater or plan to purchase one, you’ll have a much more enjoyable winter.

•     Save Money – If you keep your pool open all year, you’ll avoid the hefty pool-winterization bill and the just-as-hefty pool-opening bill a few months later. It’s often less expensive to keep the pool “open” in the short winter season, even if you don’t go swimming.

•       Avoid Possible Complications – If you’re a pool owner, you’re probably used to dealing with at least one obstacle or setback during opening and closing seasons. Unfortunately, problems arise and pile on when you don’t lay eyes on your pool for months at a time. Continued maintenance ensures smooth-sailing when it’s time to jump back in. With our recurring services, we have eyes on the pool so you are prepared and ready for the next pool season.

•       Cleanliness & Swim Ready– Did you know pools are actually easier to keep clean during the cooler months because cold temperatures make it harder for algae to grow. Ongoing light chemical maintenance to keep the PH balanced of your uncovered pool will prevent you from having to clean a green, full-of-debris pool causing the costly opening bills and possible delayed swim season if you pool requires extra maintenance so you are Swim Ready!
