April Showers Bring Pool Flowers: Dealing with Spring Rainfall

April showers may bring May flowers, but for pool owners, they can also bring a challenge or two. Don't let spring rainfall rain on your poolside parade! At Superior Pools, we're here to help you navigate the wetter side of spring with a smile.

1. Embrace the Liquid Sunshine: Think of spring rain as nature's way of giving your pool a free refill! Embrace the refreshing contribution to your water level and enjoy the extra splash space.
2. Maintain Water Balance: Spring rain can alter your pool's water chemistry. Test and adjust the pH and sanitizer levels to ensure a safe and enjoyable swim.
3. Skim Away the Surprises: Just like a treasure hunt, use your skimmer to remove leaves and debris that rainfall may carry into your pool. It's like discovering hidden gems in your aquatic oasis.
4. Watch the Waterline: Keep an eye on the water level, especially if it rains heavily. Maintain the recommended water level to ensure proper skimming and filtration.
5. Secure Pool Equipment: Secure any loose pool equipment and accessories to prevent them from being carried away by strong winds or heavy rain.
6. Shelter Poolside Furniture: Protect your poolside furniture from the rain by storing it indoors or using weatherproof covers. This ensures your outdoor oasis is always ready for relaxation.
7. Balance the Overflow: If the rain continues to fill your pool beyond the desired level, use a submersible pump to remove excess water.
8. Be Cautious of Runoff: Watch for rain runoff from surrounding areas. If necessary, consider installing drainage systems to divert excess water away from your pool.
9. Check for Chemical Adjustments: After heavy rain, it's a good idea to retest your pool water and make any necessary chemical adjustments to maintain water quality.
10. Rainy Day Fun: Don't let a little rain dampen your poolside spirits! Consider enjoying a refreshing swim in the rain, complete with a colorful umbrella for added fun.
