Hurricane Pool Prep 101
🌀 Storm Prep for Your Pool
When a storm’s on the way, your pool needs as much attention as the rest of your home. Here are the basics every pool owner should know:
1️⃣ Don’t drain your pool.
A partially full pool helps balance pressure from heavy rain and high winds.
2️⃣ Lower the water level slightly.
Just a few inches—never empty it.
3️⃣ Turn off power to pool equipment.
Pumps, heaters, and lights should all be shut down at the breaker.
4️⃣ Bring in anything that can fly.
Floats, toys, even lightweight furniture—don’t let them become projectiles.
5️⃣ Balance and shock the water.
This helps prevent algae growth if you can’t run your system for a few days.
6️⃣ Secure screens and covers.
If you have them, check that they’re tight and locked down.
⚠️ Skipping these steps can mean costly repairs after the storm.
Stay safe, keep your family first, and let these tips keep your pool ready to bounce back after the hurricane passes.
