00:00 Introduction
05:45 Questions in FB groups are asking about winter preparedness for pools in the south.
08:00 In Texas, we typically do not winterize because we do not usually experience long periods of cold weather, and we frequently have very warm periods in between.
09:33 Be prepared for excessive evaporation when cold fronts blow through. Ensure your pool is filled to just below the overflow and have a dry water hose available that can be used from in-house water sources. Washing machine or sink attachments. If water level in the pool gets low and your pump loses prime, trapped water in your above ground equipment and plumbing can freeze and cause damage.
18:30 Buying large amounts of liquid chlorine from big box retailers during post-season price reductions to stock up for next year is a bad idea. Liquid chlorine has a short shelf life. Specialty independent retailers typically receive frequent fresh deliveries and quickly rotate through stock quickly.
25:00 wind moving across the surface of a pool greatly increases evaporation from pools.
27:33 Running a heater during cold spells is extremely hard on the heater due to the excessive condensation. Once the water temperature reaches warm temperatures, the condensation greatly decreases.
35:00 Be familiar with how to emergency winterize your equipment if needed. Get a pro to come out and show you how or make a video on the correct process for your particular pool equipment.
