Closing Chemicals

It's time to close your pool and one of the biggest concerns of pool owners should be, 'how is my pool water going to look when I open it?'

Although there are a number of factors that influence water quality through the winter, the most important factor is photosynthesis.  If water is above 55 degrees and is exposed to sunlight, algae can grow.  Most pools use some sort of mesh cover that lets sunlight through and most pools get closed when water temperatures are above 55.  This means we need a way to prevent algae growth in the late fall and also during the early spring when the pool is still winterized.  We recommend a product from Natural Chemistry called 'Pool Magic Spring and Fall'.  It is an enzyme based product that lasts through the winter and helps to control the food that algae feed on.  It makes the opening of the pool much easier and usually prevents algae growth completely.

Remember to check your water quality in the spring as temperatures warm up and treat for algae before it gets too bad.  You can add algicide to the water without circulation to help control algae in the spring.
