Still holding on to those last few weeks of summer? You can extend those weeks a little bit longer with the help of a solar pool cover or solar heating system (like a solar pill). With the use of these products, you can find yourself swimming longer into the season this year or even start swimming earlier. Solar covers and solar pills both help to eliminate the temperature lost at night. For example, let’s pretend your pool gains 6 degrees during the day (on a hot day). And then during the night, it probably loses 5 degrees at night. So, normally (on a warm day) you may gain one net degree. With the use of a solar cover or solar pill, you stop most of that temperature loss at night, so you may gain a net of 4 or 5 degrees. They do not heat your water, but they do extend the season by eliminating a lot of the temperature loss.

Even when the temperatures are still quite warm, it’s never too early to start getting ready to close your pool down for the winter. We carry winter chemical kits that include everything you need to close your swimming pool – including easy step-by-step instructions! Don’t forget the “little things” that you will need too: air pillows, water bags, cover pumps, and vacuuming equipment. Don't forget Algae Kill 60 to prevent algae for 3 months and 1 bottle of pool magic to help ensure a clear pool for up to 6 month. For in-ground pools, be sure to have a professional blow the lines and add antifreeze to the lines, especially in the midwest or colder climates where winter weather can be extremely unpredictable. To ensure your pool stays in great condition from year to year, make sure you use a pool winter cover. We carry many different types of pool covers and safety covers all at the best prices – Guaranteed!
