The cooler weather generally means that most of us tend to forget our pools, unless your pool is heated. Now is the time to have all of the major pool renovations that you have been waiting for done.
Since your pool is getting less usage - why not go ahead and drain it and have an acid wash or chlorine wash done. Draining your pool is something that needs to be done if you have high TDS (total dissolved solids) levels in your pool, or if your pool just doesn't seem to respond to chemicals as it has in the past. Heat can damage your plaster, that is why it is always best if you have to drain your pool to do so in the cooler months. While your pool is drained, it is the perfect time to clean up some of those stains and discolorations that are on your pools surface. Acid or chlorine washing your pool can't take care of all stains, but if your plaster surface is in good condition - it can certainly make for a cleaner brighter look.
Any questions on how to drain or do a cleansing wash on your pool, give us a call. We can come out and drain it and do an acid/chlorine wash. A do it yourselfer - you can rent a pump to drain your pool. Acid and chlorine washing your pool can be dangerous and can damage your pool if not done correctly. Please check with a pool professional before you try it yourself.
