Innovative Ideas on How to Maintain Swimming Pool Covers

 

If you have a swimming pool at home, I guess you only use it regularly during the summer season, because the cold winter season just makes it too unbearable for everyone to swim on it. But, even if you don't use your pool during the winter or fall, you still need to protect and maintain it, by using a pool cover. Here are a couple of cool ideas on how to maintain pool covers. 

Gently Remove Debris From the Pool Cover

In general, Canberra swimming pool covers  are strong and durable items. But, this doesn't mean that you'd simply let leaves, branches, twigs and other debris to remain on it for long. So, gently remove all the debris using a soft pool broom or brush, and make sure it stays spic and span every week! 

Make Sure No One's in the Pool When Closing the Cover

Before opening and closing Canberra swimming pool covers, make sure no one is in the pool, because you obviously don't want any of your friends or family members to get trapped inside the pool! 

Ensure the Pool Cover's Housing is Clean

Aside from regularly removing leaves and other debris from the cover itself, also make sure you regularly remove dirt, muck and other debris from the Canberra swimming pool covers' housing. Remember that leaves, twigs and other debris can clog the box filling with dirt and water, and damage it in the process.  

Regularly Examine the Pool Cover Tracks

Every couple of weeks during the swim season, make sure you carefully examine the

Canberra swimming pool covers' tracks, because if you have a saltwater pool, the salt residue may damage the painted and unpainted components of the cover (especially if it's left there for too long). 

Inspect the Fabric, and Check for Obstructions

Make it a habit to regularly inspect the Canberra swimming pool covers' fabric too, by checking for signs of major wear and tear. Look for obstructions too, like pool toys, towels, ear rings, underwear etc., which might obstruct the cover and clog the housing. 

Leave the Pool Cover Open When Pouring Chemicals

When adding chemicals like chlorine or salt to the swimming pool, make sure you keep it open for at least two hours after you've treated the pool. Also make sure no unaccompanied child is allowed inside the pool during the whole treating process.  

Have the Pool Cover Inspected by A Professional Technician Once a Year

To keep your swimming pool cover up and running for years, or even decades, to come, make sure you have it checked and serviced by  a professional technician at least once a year.These experts have the skill to fully inspect your pool cover, and check for any signs of wear and tear, and replace any damaged items quickly. 

If you love your swimming pool, and you'd like to extend your swimming season too, I guess you should give your pool cover some love too. With a few minutes of regular upkeep, the cover should provide you with years of reliable service!
