With the recent news about Coronavirus (COVID-19), we have fielded several questions about the virus and swimming pools/hot tubs. Following is a statement from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control):According to the CDC, there is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through the use of pools and hot tubs. Proper operation, maintenance, and disinfection (e.g., with chlorine and bromine) of pools and hot tubs should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19.

Leaf Build Up? Have No Fear! Pool Refs is Here!

Just because you and your family aren’t swimming does not mean it is time for you to relax about your pool. None could be farther from the truth!  Your pool needs a little extra care when it comes to cold weather.

Here are some options to prevent leaf build up in your pool this winter.

  • You may decide to have your pool fitted for a number of pool covers (post coming soon).
  • Or some extra scrubbing and brushing away the dirt and the piled up leaves may be the solution.
  • Make sure you take the necessary precautions to keep your equipment and drain from blocking up with leaves by emptying your skimmers and pool cleaner bags a couple times a week.  (More for more foliage and less for less foliage).

Watching your pool for signs of over run equipment is also necessary. Running your pool cleaner longer is not always the best option.  You run the risk of breaking a pool cleaner before summer even starts! Run your cleaner the same amount of time you did during the summer.  You just need to do some extra labor with a decent sized net and net most of the leaves out. Emptying the cleaner more often will also help out your equipment.  We also did some leg work in research and have added our expertise in our three part pool cleaner post… which pool cleaner is best for you!
