Tips For Storing Your Pool Supplies During The Off season
Pool season has come and passed. We are in the thick of the fall months, and most pool owners have their pool supplies stored away in either a shed or a garage. If you want to ensure that your supplies are protected over the next several months, check reading for a few tips!
How To Store Pool Equipment
It is typically a good idea to store away your pool pump and motor during the cold months of the year. The reason behind this is because the outside moisture can cause rust to form. Also, the cold temperatures can damage the motor. When you disconnect your motor and pump, you want to ensure that is entirely drained and stored in a dry area.
How To Store Pool Chemicals
Don’t be one of the many pool owners who neglect to store their pool chemicals properly. To keep your swimming pool safe to swim in, you need to use a few chemicals. For that reason, it is imperative that these chemicals are stored correctly during the offseason. Every chemical needs to be stored individually in its own container. Although they are not likely to freeze, you are better off keeping them out of cold temperatures because they can become less strong. Also, be sure that your chemicals are stored in a dry and well-ventilated area.
