As hurricane season approaches, your pool requires special attention to avoid damage and costly repairs. Proper preparation can safeguard your investment, saving you both time and money in the aftermath of a storm. Trident Pool Solution offers expert pool care guidance to ensure your pool weathers the storm. Below are three crucial steps you should take to prepare your pool for a hurricane.
Hurricanes can wreak havoc on your pool if it is not properly prepared. From equipment damage to structural issues, the consequences of neglect can be costly and time-consuming to fix. Many pool owners underestimate the importance of hurricane readiness, leaving them vulnerable to extensive post-storm repairs.
Imagine the aftermath of a storm: your pool has floated due to groundwater pressure, your equipment is damaged from electrical surges, and your pool deck is littered with debris. These scenarios are not only stressful but also preventable with proper precautions. Failing to prepare can lead to higher expenses, more time spent on cleanup, and long-term damage to your pool system.
At Trident Pool Solution, we are committed to providing professional, reliable advice to protect your pool in all weather conditions. Here are three essential tips to prepare your pool for an upcoming hurricane:
Draining your pool may seem logical, but keeping water in it is crucial for protection. Water weighs down your pool, preventing it from popping out of the ground due to rising groundwater levels during heavy rain. A dry pool is more susceptible to floating or structural damage. By leaving the water in, you also make post-hurricane cleanup easier, as it helps prevent debris from settling directly on the pool floor.
Turn off the power to your pool equipment before the storm arrives. Head to your main electrical panel and switch off the circuit breakers for your pump, chlorinator, heater, and lighting systems. Running equipment during a hurricane exposes it to potential electrical damage, which can be costly to repair. Taking this simple step will save you from dealing with avoidable damage to your essential pool systems.
High winds can turn patio furniture, pool toys, and even umbrellas into dangerous projectiles. Secure or bring all loose items indoors before the storm hits. Never place items in your pool as a protective measure—metal objects, especially patio furniture, can leave unsightly stains and cause damage to your pool liner or tiles. By clearing the area, you reduce the risk of debris causing additional harm.
