More storms and heavy rain are on the way this Summer. Here's how to protect your pool.
With more wild weather expected across Queensland, a little preparation can help minimise damage to your pool and equipment.
Here are some simple precautions to take before the next storm:
💧 Don't drain your pool: Keep your pool filled to its normal operating level. Draining it can cause serious structural damage.
🪑 Secure loose items: Move pool toys, outdoor furniture and other loose items away from the pool area.
⚡ Protect your equipment: If severe weather is approaching, safely switch off pool equipment at the appropriate isolator before conditions deteriorate. Never touch electrical equipment during a storm or if it's wet or flooded.
🍃 Clear your surrounds: Remove loose leaves and debris from around your pool and skimmer baskets while conditions are safe.
🧪 Hold off on chemical treatments: Avoid adding chemicals immediately before heavy rain, and always test your water before making adjustments afterwards.
Most importantly, stay safe and avoid your pool area during severe weather.
