HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., July 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Everyone looks
forward to summer - a season spent enjoying good times with family
and friends in the beautiful weather and a season that wouldn't be
complete without a pool. The calendar has its opinion on when this
season starts and finishes, but when does it really? And when
should the pool be open and closed? Pool covers supplier, LOOP-LOC,
shares a perfect time pool guide for opening and closing your
pool.
Summer does not officially start until the end of June but
waiting for the calendar to decide when to open your pool can run
you into some real trouble. The best time to open your pool is
around late April to early May. Yes, this seems early, however,
there are a ton of benefits to being an early opener.
First, it improves the likelihood that you'll open your cover
to a blue pool instead of a green one. Algae needs sunlight to
grow. With the cover on, the heat and sunlight moving through the
pool cover, and into the water when it starts to get warmer out,
the algae count will surely increase and turn your pool into that
horrible green color.
The next reason is mother nature. Whether you
believe in climate change or not, winters are getting colder,
summers are getting hotter, and the fall and spring seasons are
almost nonexistent. Therefore, around April and May, it is
beginning to get hotter than it's been in previous years, so having
the pool open and ready to go is a great way to keep cool. Another
reason to open it around this time is because of pollen. Pollen can
do a number on still water. During April and May, when pollen is
most prevalent, it can sneak under your pool cover and get into the
water. If you have the pool open, however, the water will be
circulating, and the pollen will be sent into the filter. Lastly,
you pay a lot of money for your pool and it is the focal point of
almost everybody's backyard; why not open it a little earlier to
make your yard more aesthetically pleasing and get your money's
worth?
After enjoying a summer hanging out with family and friends by
the pool, it is best to close it up for the season when the
water and weather consistently begin to get into the 50s and
60s. At this temperature, microorganisms and algae cannot grow
and therefore become dormant for the winter. With no heater, who's
jumping in a 50-degree pool in October? Do not rush in closing your
pool, because if you close it in September when it is still 70
degrees out, it is sure to be green when you open it as algae and
other microorganisms will grow significantly in the still, hot
water.
