If you’re planning to swim year round – and with the installation of swimming pool heater – why wouldn’t you? Even if you’re not brave enough to face the elements of winter to make your way to and from the swimming pool heating it will protect it from any potential damage caused by winter weather and freezing. The diligent use of a swimming pool heater – whether for swimming purposes or just to keep the water above freezing level – will also keep the pipes from freezing. Don’t worry that the use of a swimming pool heater will break the bank, it really won’t as long as you set it at a lower temperature when you’re not planning to use it. You can install a timer as a way to run the pool heater before you plan to use the swimming pool as well.

Swimming pool owners, depending on the area of the country in which you live, may use solar power to keep the water warm in addition to using a gas or electric powered heater. The use of swimming pool covers – while crucial year round – are even more important in the winter, especially if you’re planning to use the pool in the cooler months of the year. The cover will help trap the heat generated from whatever kind of heater you use. Additionally the cover will keep out rain or snow and dirt and falling leaves and other debris.

Work with your swimming pool service tech to help keep the water bacteria free and the chemicals balanced throughout the winter months. Without the sun beating down on the water all day, bacteria and algae grow at a slower rate, but they will still take hold if you don’t keep the chemicals in balance. Keep in mind that the water will still need to be shocked even during the winter months and after the water is shocked, the pump will need to be run for six to eight hours.

Ask your swimming pool maintenance pro whether you will need to fit your swimming pool pump and exposed pipes with heat wraps to keep them protected from the elements and prevent them from freezing and cracking. Having trees and shrubbery or even a pool fence around the swimming pool will help keep it free from dirt and debris and can also help with the costs of running the pool heater throughout the winter months.

Accessorizing the swimming pool with a heated towel rack or another form of towel heater is a luxurious treat when getting out of the swimming pool. Make certain the path to and from the swimming pool and the deck are clear of snow and ice because you don’t want a swimmer to trip and fall when they’re getting out of the pool.
