How to Prepare Your Pool Before the Storm Ways to prevent major pool damage: 1. Put away your loose stuff 2. Turn off all gas, propane, and electricity to the p...ool 3. Leave the pool cover off 4. Balance the water chemistry (with algaecide if you like) 5. Don't drain the pool 6. If possible, trim nearby trees 7. Put your pool on your homeowner's insurance Yes, that list looks kinda inconvenient...but not as inconvenient as your credit card bills if you don't help your pool out. Put away loose items Your tricked-out patio is awesome for lounging and parties, but all those amenities become liabilities when Hurricane McStormy comes into town. Take everything you can indoors: your chaise lounges, tables, chairs, umbrellas, pool toys, and whatever else is sitting around. If you can't bring free-standing furniture or decor into the house or garage/shed, don't put it in the pool. You could damage the interior finish. Instead, tie the item down to keep it from blowing into the pool. You may want to cover it with a tarp to keep it from getting wet. Turn off the power Gas, propane, electricity, large hamster wheels... whatever is powering your pool, turn it off. If it's supposed to rain enough for a flood, you may want to unplug the pump/filter system and other pool equipment and store them someplace high and dry, indoors (if possible). Leave the pool cover off Yes, this sounds counterintuitive. Yes, you should still do it. Covering your pool would actually set the cover up for serious damage. If any big debris blows into the pool, it could tear the cover off. Anything flying through the air could damage it. Plus, even if it did somehow manage to stay in place and in one piece, who wants to clean that much debris and water off a pool cover? Balance the water chemistry Test your pool water and add chemicals as needed to balance it out. This will give you a head start when cleaning the water after the storm has passed. You can shock the pool if you wantsuperchlorinate with algaecidefor an extra boost against dirt and germs that the storm will throw into the water. Don't drain the pool You don't need to drain your pool before rain. In fact, you shouldn't. A drained pool can bulge, split, or pop up out of the ground. We in the pool industry call that a bad thing. The only reason to drain your inground pool is for a major repair. It's serious business. If possible, trim trees Dead or overgrown tree limbs can break off in high winds, blow into your pool, and damage it. While you can't foresee exactly what Mother Nature has up her sleeve, removing these troublesome bits can help you avoid emotional and financial pain. In fact, if you have the time, it wouldn't hurt to prune the rest of the landscaping, like bushes and shrubs. Some pool owners go as far as mowing the lawn too so that water doesn't get caught up in the grass when draining. Put your pool on your insurance This should already be taken care of, but just in case: insure that backyard beauty! If the pool does happen to need repairs after the storm, you don't want to pay for that 100% out of pocket. Gross. My bank account just wept a little at the thought.
