The stores
have been keeping very busy now that this lovely warm weather has hit. Last
weekend the water lab was running full steam with everyone preparing for Canada
day pool parties. It was wonderful weather on Tuesday to be outside celebrating
Canada’s birthday! With all of the complaining of the cold weather and the long
winter…what do you know I heard some complaining about it being too hot as
well! Welcome to Nova Scotia!
Obviously
we knew these sunny days couldn’t last forever we are now all preparing for the
first Summer Storm! We have already had quite a few calls asking what to do to
be prepared for when Arthur comes rolling through town!
Here are
some Tips!
#1- Remove
your solar blanket for the entire duration of the storm. It becomes a huge
parachute much like my old gym class days. When the blanket is blowing around
in the wind it has a tendency to rip and tear, so save your self the headache
of picking solar blanket out of your skimmer basket and pack it away somewhere
safe for a few days!
#2- All
pool maintenance equipment should be stored in the garage/basement/somewhere safe
during the store. This includes your vacuum hose, automatic clearer, telescopic
pole and chemical constrainers. Do a walk around the pool and removed anything
that you think could cause damage.
#3- Much
like number two secure all patio furniture, flower pots, hanging baskets,
umbrellas etc; Anything that can blow around and become a huge projectile object
that can damage your pool. You don’t want to wake up to the kid’s trampoline in
the pool and a hole in your liner.
#4-
Remember to do a “weekly” shock dosage after any thunder and lightening storm.
We also recommend bringing in a water sample after any heavy amounts of rain.
#5. After
the power has been restored (hopefully we don’t loose it) ensure all of the
pool/hot tub equipment is back up and running. If you have any questions please
give us a call.
Stay safe
everyone!
Talk soon,
