Fall is here but that doesn’t mean you can’t keep enjoying your inground pool. Following these simple tips can help you get plenty of fun from your swimming pool throughout the fall and into the holiday season:
- Keep your pool water at just the right fall temperature. Energy-efficient heaters and heat pumps not only help to keep your inground pool comfortable but can save you money on energy as well.
- Clean your skimmer basket. This is especially important at this time of year as falling leaves can clog the flow of water needed to properly run your pool equipment, putting unnecessary strain on your pool motor that can cause it to overheat and fail. And of course at this time of year and throughout the year, be sure to properly clean your pool filter.
- Finally, be creative and have fun. For the next big football game, hosting a pregame or post-game tailgate party at poolside will guarantee that everyone has a great time, win or lose. And for Halloween, why just settle for bobbing apples? A Halloween pool party can be tons of fun for young and old. Plus when the holidays arrive, a festively decorated pool area is the perfect backdrop for any celebration.
