My Pool Repairs

Even as temperatures start to cool, Florida pools are still vulnerable to algae. With fewer swimmers but plenty of leaves and debris falling into your pool, now is the perfect time to stay proactive!

1⃣ Maintain Proper Water Chemistry
Keep chlorine levels steady — algae can still thrive in mild fall temperatures.
Test and balance pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness weekly to prevent growth.

2⃣ Brush & Vacuum Regularly
Fallen leaves and plant debris provide nutrients for algae.
Brush pool walls, steps, and corners at least once a week, and vacuum debris promptly.

3⃣ Keep Your Filtration System Running Smoothly
Run your pump daily for 6–8 hours to maintain circulation as water temperatures drop.
Clean skimmer and pump baskets, and check filters for optimal performance.

4⃣ Fall Shock Treatments
Even in cooler weather, occasional shock treatments help prevent algae blooms and keep water sparkling.

5⃣ Remove Debris Promptly
Leaves, twigs, and pollen are plentiful in November. Skim daily to reduce organic matter that fuels algae.

6⃣ Use Preventive Algaecide
A weekly dose of algaecide protects shaded or harder-to-reach areas from stubborn algae strains.
