We already have the winter here and the temperatures have dropped. If you don't have an air conditioning system for the pool, the water temperature will probably have dropped to 15 degrees or even less. Hibernation is necessary to safeguard the pool and keep it in good condition for the next season. We advise not to empty the swimming pool to protect the construction and to guarantee its watertightness.
It is necessary to check the facilities and to control at all time the state of the water. Here are some tips to improve maintenance and save water:
SWIMMING POOL HIVERNATION
- Clean the pool. Brush the walls and vacuum the bottom.
- Thoroughly clean the filter.
- Do a “shock” chlorination using granulated chlorine (1kg/50 m3).
- After 24 hours, analyse the pH level and adjust it to between 7.0 and 7.2.
- To prevent calcareous inlay in the pool vessel, add 1.5L of Calcinex Pool for every 50 m3. Add the wintering fluids, following the manufacturer’s recommendations, and then run the filtration for about 8 hours to ensure the product is perfectly distributed through the water. Products like Ivernet and Calcinex will help you prevent lime building up, algae being created or water decomposing in your pool.
- Add 1L of Ivernet for every 10 m3and filter for 8 hours.
- We recommend filtering for 2 hours a day and that there’s always a chlorine tablet in every skimmer. If you want to leave the pool filtering system off during the winter, we recommend using Iverfilter. This product prevents the filter sand from compacting and becoming infected.
Calcinex®
Calcinex is a stable chlorine liquid that prevents the appearance of lime and metals on the surfaces of your pool. It makes the lime become suspended in the water and not stick to the walls or the bottom. Dosing 300 ml of Calcinex® for every 10 m³ of fresh water after filling the pool will prevent the formation of these types of deposits.
PM-650 Ivernet 6M
The product PM-650 Ivernet 6M prevents the creation of algae, the decomposition of water, and lime becoming encrusted on the walls and bottom of the pool. Maintain a single dose of 1 L for every 10/15 m3 of water for 6 months.
SWIMMING POOL COVERS
In addition to these 7 hibernation steps, we recommend using a hibernation cover, either automatic or manual, to avoid contaminants inside the pool (dust, leaves, insects, etc...). These covers also function as safety elements in the event of children and/or animals falling into the pool.
And remember, in addition to preserving it, all this will allow you to save on maintenance costs, water and start-up!
N-Carlit
The N-CARLIT model is the perfect choice for your pool renovation and ideal for installing in existing pools. AstralPool keeps pace with new needs with the N-Carlit automatic cover, combining the safety and reliability of an automatic cover with a modern design. A new pool cover that seamlessly integrates with the pool and its surroundings.
