7 Tips to Prepare Your Pool For a Hurricane

1. Do Not Empty
Drainage is almost always in the design of the pool. Water in the pool provides weight to keep the pool in the ground. An empty pool can float or pop out of the ground due to pressure from excessive ground water caused by heavy rains.

2. Turn Off Power
Circuit breakers at the main electrical panel should be turned off. Pump motors, lighting, chlorinators, and heaters should not operate in the storm.

3. Protect Electric Pool Equipment
Wrap the pump motor, time clock, light transformers and electric heaters with waterproof plastic. Tie securely in place to prevent sand and water from entering. If flooding is expected, disconnect these devices and store them in a dry place.

4. Remove Loose Items
Chairs, tables, toys, pool tools or other loose items can become dangerous projectiles in high winds. It’s best to store them inside away from storm. Avoid throwing furniture into pool, unless it is a last resort. If so, gently place objects in pool to avoid damage and staining.

5. Add Extra Chlorine to the Pool
To prevent contamination from debris and excessive storm water, add a Leslie’s granular shock, preferably Power Powder Plus or Chlor Brite.

6. Do Not Cover Pool
Storms can cause falling branches and other debris that can damage pool covers. It’s easier to remove debris from the pool than it is to replace a cover.

7. Protect Screen Enclosure if You Have One
Providing a vent for wind to flow through can help prevent damage. Possibly remove screen panels on opposite sides of the enclosure.

Our Client Reviews

The entire team was professional. Our sales manager Tom accommodated our schedule for a Weekend appointment to meet at the office and design and contract for our pool. He worked with us to maximize our budget. Don, the general manager over saw the construction of our pool. He is very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the process. We didn't build an ordinary in ground pool, our yard sloped down to a retention pond so a retaining wall was need to hold the pool. The construction started the weekend of Thanksgiving and we are completed and using the pool in mid February (2 1/2 months from beginning to end). Carol communicated when payments was needed along the way, which was outlined in the contract and on their pool build website so you can track the next steps. Marilyn in services and Ron also did a great job in responding to questions and advising when workers would be onsite. We could not be happier with our decision to have worked with All Season Pools!

We want to give a big shout out to All Seasons Pools for the great job they did with our pool and screen insulation. In all of our years dealing with companies, we would definitely put them at the top! The process was almost flawless. We had a great experience from the initial time we met with Dave, our salesman, through the entire process when Don, our project manager said, "jump in!" The team at All Seasons along with their outside contractors were all courteous, professional and great to work with. We give everyone 5 stars. Thanks again All Seasons Pools!

Awesome job on our pool and enclosure. Mike Newman (project manager) and Robert Herod (service tech/ pool school teacher) were the best and most helpful people. I highly recommend the All Seasons team for your complete pool / spa and enclosure business.

Our experience with All Seasons Pools was Fantastic! Our sales consultant Frank Goodwin helped us create a pool that maximized our space without sacrificing any of our requirements. Frank's expertise was head and shoulders above the sales consultants we spoke with at other pool companies. Frank was always on time, followed up on each request or question we had and consistently made sure our expectations were being met. We recommend Frank Goodwin and All Seasons Pools each time we get the opportunity.

My wife and I contracted with All Seasons pool to do our dream backyard and we are extremely happy with the results! They built a Gorgeous hot tub/deck/summer kitchen/elite roof and we have the most unique backyard in the neighborhood. All of our friends and relatives love it ! Now this was a major construction project , so were there issues? Yes ! But did they resolve them all? Yes! Not only did they resolve all our issues along the way, I know we saved money using them over other companies! They deal with any and all warranty issues where most companies disappear once the job is done and you have to deal with the warranty company. The officer was very helpful along with his staff along the way! Would definitely use them again or recommend them to others!
