A pool can be the highlight of one\u2019s entire summer. But between purchasing your pool chemicals and hiring a professional to take care of you pool on a weekly basis, you might be spending more money than you\u2019re comfortable with. If you can relate, keep reading for tips on how you, as a pool owner, can save money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1) Opening Your Own Pool<\/h2>\n

One of the ways in which you can save money this summer is by opening your own pool!Although opening your pool<\/span><\/a> can be a bit of a scary process for those that have never done it, it\u2019s really not as complicated as it seems and there are many tips online that can help you do it. It\u2019s also a great way for you to start getting to know the ins and outs of pool maintenance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are two things you need to focus on when it comes to opening your pool and those are the cover and your equipment. Be prepared to spend a day or two opening your pool if it\u2019s your first time. The first thing you should do is get water and debris off the cover so that you can get it off. Once you remove the cover, inspect your pool equipment to make sure it\u2019s functional and there there are no broken pieces. Check the water level of your pool to make sure you don\u2019t have any leaks. Then, you can start setting up the pump and your tank, raise the water level above the skimmer, shock your pool, and test it until it\u2019s just right.<\/p>\n

2) Winterize Your Pool Yourself<\/h2>\n

Just as opening your pool can save you money, so too can winterizing your pool<\/span><\/a> yourself. If you were able to open your pool, you can rest assured that you\u2019ll be able to winterize it. All it takes is to do everything backwards! Just remove your pool accessories, clean the pool completely, test the pool to get it to the right levels, lower your water level to half a foot to a foot below the skimmer, drain your equipment and store it, shock your pool and add algaecide, and finally cover your pool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If all of this seems daunting to you and you don\u2019t feel comfortable opening and winterizing your pool yourself, don\u2019t worry \u2014 you can always hire a professional to do it to make sure everything is done right. And there are plenty for other ways in which you can save money as a pool owner!<\/p>\n

3) Pool Maintenance<\/h2>\n

Another way to save money as a pool owner is to maintain your pool yourself instead of hiring a professional to take care of it on a weekly basis. If you want to make sure you do everything right, you could ask a professional to train you<\/span><\/a> and show you everything you need to do so that you yourself can become a pool expert! And if you still don\u2019t feel comfortable with doing the maintenance yourself, then you can hire a pool expert to come once a month instead of once a week until you get the hang of things.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to pool maintenance, all you need to do is clean by vacuuming debris at the bottom of your pool, clean out the strainer baskets and the skimmer, and test the pool for proper chemical balance. If vacuuming sounds like it might be too long of a task and you\u2019re often short on time, you can also consider purchasing a robotic cleaner!<\/p>\n

4) Cover Your Pool<\/h2>\n

One of the great and surprising ways to reduce costs as a pool owner is to cover your pool! Using a solar cover<\/span><\/a> or an automatic pool safety cover will help you maintain the temperature of your pool by holding heat, it will prevent evaporation which will prevent your skimmer and pump from incurring damages, and it will help minimize your usage of pool chemicals. Sure, you\u2019ll have to invest in a good pool cover, but when thinking about all of the great things a pool cover can do, you\u2019ll be saving much more money in the long run. And all you need to do is cover your pool and night and remove it again in the morning!<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re feeling overwhelmed by the amount of money you\u2019re spending on your pool every year, rest assured that there are many ways in which you can lower your costs. Many of these ways involve maintaining your pool by yourself, and there are plenty of tips online<\/span><\/a> that can help you do so, and many professionals that can train you so that you can become an expert too!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
