Leaf Me Alone! & other Winter Hassles

Now that the pool is closed the work really begins. Especially if you have trees around your pool. The simple addition of a leaf net cover can alleviate the hassles of cleaning the cover in the spring. Keeping the pool cover clean of leaf debris make removal of rain water simpler. Once leaves start to rot in the water gathering on the cover, they can work their way into your cover pump. Let me tell you, leaves inside the cover pump are not good. Chemex Pool and Spa Supplies carries leaf net covers in all sizes for in ground and above ground pools. Save clean up time in the spring, and protect your

cover pump by putting on a leaf net cover today before the leaves fall. Remember to keep your leaf rake and pole handy if you don't have a leaf net cover. Scooping leaves once a week will go a long way to keeping the pool cover clean. Remember to remove your cover pump and store it in a location where it won't freeze.

Leaving the pump in the frozen water can damage the pump. Also, remember to check the hose. If your hose is frozen and you turn on your cover pump, there will be no where for the water to go. This back pressure can burn out the pumps motor. Remember to follow us on Twitter @chemexpools, and find us on Facebook. Doing so will guarantee that you are in the know about pool and spa care.
