Grandkids cannonballing in, family barbecues by the pool, late-summer play before school routines return. All of it depends on clear, safe water. Protect their health and extend family moments with a simple fall care reset.

Why clear water is safety first

Cloudy water hides risks. You can’t see the bottom, track swimmers, or spot hazards. Balanced chemistry = protection against bacteria, ear infections, and skin irritation.

The essentials to guard their health

Daily sanitizer: Keep free chlorine steady based on your CYA. Small daily doses stop big swings.

  • Balanced pH: Target 7.4–7.6 to prevent red eyes and itchy skin.

  • Clean filters: Rinse or backwash when pressure climbs 8–10 psi. Dirty filters fuel cloudiness.

  • Brushing and vacuuming: Break biofilm on walls and remove organics that sanitizer can’t reach.

Tip: Skim before every swim session. Kids stir debris into suspension in seconds.

Watch out for storm weeks

Late-season Florida storms dump organics and rainwater that weaken sanitizer. Reset fast:

  1. Lower water to mid-skimmer if overflowing.

  2. Empty baskets and pump strainer.

  3. Brush steps, ladders, and shallow areas where kids play.

  4. Recheck pH and chlorine right after.

Extra safety checks

  • Test pool lights and GFCI outlets.

  • Tighten handrails and ladders.

  • Remove floating toys and furniture when not in use.

  • Verify gates and latches close securely.
