Winter Pool Care Tips for Texas Homeowners

 

Winter Pool Care Tips for Texas Homeowners

Even though our winters here in Montgomery County are mild compared to up north, your pool still needs a little TLC when the temperature drops. Taking a few simple steps now can help you avoid costly repairs and make sure your pool is sparkling and swim-ready when warm weather returns.

1. Keep the Water Clean

Even if you’re not swimming, debris like leaves, acorns, and dirt can build up fast. Use your skimmer regularly and keep your filter running a few hours each day to prevent stagnant water or algae growth.

2. Check Your Water Levels and Chemistry

It’s easy to forget pool chemistry in the off-season, but balanced water keeps your pool surface and equipment protected. Test pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels every couple of weeks and top off the water as needed.

3. Protect Against Freezing Temps

Texas doesn’t see many hard freezes, but when they happen, they can do real damage. On freezing nights, let your pool equipment run continuously to keep water circulating. If you have a smart pump or freeze guard system, double-check that it’s working properly.

4. Cover It Up

A solid pool cover helps keep out debris, blocks sunlight that can cause algae, and saves you cleanup time in the spring. Make sure your cover is secured tightly and free of standing water.

5. Inspect Equipment and Schedule Maintenance

Winter is the perfect time to give your pool equipment a once-over. Look for cracks in your pipes, leaks around fittings, or worn-out seals. If you’re not sure where to start, our Mirage Custom Pools TX service team can help with a professional inspection.

Keep Your Investment Looking Its Best

Your backyard pool is more than just a place to cool off — it’s part of your home’s lifestyle and value. A little winter maintenance goes a long way in keeping your pool ready for the first sunny day of spring.
