Close summer right. Lock in clear water before temps drop and storms keep rolling. Act now and skip headaches later.

Balance water first

Set the foundation. Clear water = healthy pool.

  • Dial in pH, alkalinity, and calcium to safe ranges.

  • Reset sanitizer to fall levels for steady protection.
    Drop CYA if tablets pushed it high over summer. Lower CYA = faster, cheaper chlorine control.

Stop algae before it starts

Cut off the food source and block growth.

  • Remove phosphates with a targeted treatment.

  • Brush walls, steps, tile line, and behind ladders.

  • Dose a preventative algaecide for cooler nights and shorter pump cycles.

Deep clean + Filter reset

Let your system breathe going into fall.

  • Backwash or clean cartridges to restore flow.

  • Empty pump and skimmer baskets.

  • Vacuum fine debris and silt left by late-season storms.

Trim energy use safely

Hold clarity while cutting the bill.

  • Reduce pump run-time as water cools.

  • Use a variable-speed schedule with smart windows for skimming.

  • Verify heater or heat pump performance for night swims.

Storm mode checklist

Florida season still active. Prepare now.

  • Lower water line before heavy rain.

  • Secure lids, floats, furniture, and loose gear.

  • Keep shock, clarifier, and floc on hand for rapid recovery.

Protect decks, tile, and stone

Block stains before leaves and tannins hit.

  • Seal porous stone and refresh grout lines.

  • Treat metals and scale at the waterline.

  • Skim and empty baskets more often during leaf drop.

Verify safety + Hidden loss

Catch issues early.

  • Test GFCI outlets, lights, handrails, and ladder anchors.

  • Run a simple bucket test to spot leaks.

  • Schedule a pro pressure test if water loss persists.
