How to Keep Your Pool in Top Shape This Winter
Simple Maintenance Tips for Off-Season Pool Care
Even during the off-season, your pool needs attention to stay in excellent condition. Winter maintenance ensures your pool remains functional, clean, and ready for springtime fun. At Superior Pools, we’ve put together this expanded guide to help you protect your investment. Here are our top tips for winter pool care:
Monitor Your Pool Cover: A well-maintained pool cover is your pool’s first line of defense against debris, snow, and ice. Regularly check for fallen leaves, dirt, or water accumulation on the cover. Use a pool cover pump to remove standing water, which can cause damage if left unattended.
Keep Your Water Level in Check: Fluctuating winter temperatures can lead to water expansion and contraction, which might damage your pool’s plumbing or walls. Ensure the water level stays slightly below the skimmer to avoid unnecessary pressure.
Check Chemical Levels: Even when the pool isn’t in use, chemical imbalances can cause long-term problems like algae growth or staining. Regularly test your water’s pH and chlorine levels and make adjustments as needed.
Inspect Your Equipment: Your pump, filter, and heater should be checked periodically to ensure they’re in working order. Inspect for cracks, leaks, or freezing components. Addressing small issues now can save you from expensive repairs in the future.
Schedule a Winter Maintenance Check: Don’t let winter pool care stress you out. Schedule a professional maintenance check with Superior Pools for a hassle-free experience. We’ll handle everything from equipment inspections to chemical balancing, ensuring your pool is ready for spring.

Planning a new pool? One of the biggest questions is: what size is right for your space and lifestyle? At Superior Pools, we help Wichita homeowners design pools that fit perfectly. Here are a few key things to consider. Yard Space and Layout: Measure your backyard and consider how much room you want to dedicate to the pool versus landscaping, patios, or play areas. Intended Use: Will the pool be used for laps, family fun, entertaining, or relaxing? A lap pool may need to be long and narrow, while a family-friendly pool might focus more on shallow areas. Number of Swimmers: The more people who will be using the pool regularly, the larger it may need to be to stay comfortable and safe. Budget and Features: Larger pools cost more to install and maintain. If you want to include features like spas, tanning ledges, or fountains, they may affect your overall footprint. Local Zoning Requirements: Setback restrictions and easements can affect how much usable space you really have. Your perfect pool isn’t one-size-fits-all. The team at Superior Pools will help you design the ideal pool for your backyard, budget, and vision.
