Fall brings about different kinds of weather — rain, wind, snow, to name a few — that can wreak havoc on the pool. So how do you protect your pool from looking like a supporting role in the movie Swamp Thing?

The most important thing you can invest in for fall is a pool cover. A good cover will protect the pool from the elements as well as falling leaves, dirt and the ever present pollen, all of which can turn the pool water yellow or green and cause algae blooms. Problems like these can lead to further problems down the road if they aren’t taken care of right away.

Another important thing to remember during the fall is to skim the pool and brush the walls daily and vacuum at least once a week. By breaking up the pollen and keeping the pool water as clean as possible, you’re protecting it from future issues.

Make sure to maintain water chemistry as best as you can during the fall, too, as that also plays a role in how well the water will stay crystal clear. And if you see any sign of algae or water discoloration, be sure to contact your pool service company so they can fix the situation before it turns into something more.
