How To Treat Your Pool in Hot Weather

Hot weather can see your pool become a very busy place! This extra use can mean your pool needs a little extra maintenance and care during the summer months. Our pool experts provide you with all the advice you need to ensure you pool is healthy, clean and ready for those hot, summer days!

Keep Your Water Balanced

High temperatures and frequent use can quickly throw off your pool’s chemical balance. Weekly water testing is essential to detect and correct imbalances before they affect water quality. Your local Poolwerx can help with professional testing services or products for at-home testing.

Protect Your Pool’s Chlorine Levels

Hot weather speeds up chlorine depletion, compromising your pool’s hygiene. Using a stabilizer product acts like sunscreen for your pool, shielding chlorine from the sun’s harsh UV rays. This simple step helps maintain safe chlorine levels and extends the effectiveness of your sanitizing efforts.

Save Water and Money with a Pool Blanket

Evaporation can drain up to 10,000 litres of water from your pool every month in summer. A pool blanket is a smart investment to reduce water loss, lower costs, and keep your pool at a comfortable temperature. Explore the benefits of pool blankets by visiting your local Poolwerx.

Selecting the right filter is essential to ensuring your pool stays in top condition. Two of the most common options are sand media filters and cartridge filters, each offering unique benefits. Let’s explore their differences to help you decide which is best for your pool.
