When a storm approaches, securing your pool and outdoor area can prevent damage. Here’s a quick checklist:
Outdoor Furniture: Bring lightweight items like patio furniture, toys, potted plants, and gardening tools inside. For heavier items that can’t be moved, secure them with ropes or chains to avoid wind damage.
Do Not Drain the Pool: Contrary to popular belief, draining can actually harm your pool due to increased hydrostatic pressure, which may lift it from the ground. Lower the water slightly if needed but leave most in to protect the pool’s finish from debris impact.
This guide to be storm-ready, and share with others for their safety.
