1. Why Summer Pool Care Matters in Winder
In Barrow County, Winder summers are hot, humid, and full of fast-moving afternoon thunderstorms. These conditions increase algae growth, chlorine evaporation, and yard debris in your pool. Regular summer maintenance helps you avoid green water and ensures safe, sparkling fun all season long.
2. Weekly “Quick-Hit” Tasks
| Task | What It Does | Winder Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Skim & brush | Clears surface debris and prevents staining | Expect heavy pollen and grass clippings from nearby fields—skim daily, especially after mowing. |
| Vacuum or robotic sweep | Prevents algae on walls and floors | Run sweeper after windy days—rural areas around Winder carry in more leaf debris. |
| Check pH & chlorine (7.4–7.6 pH, 2–4 ppm chlorine) | Keeps water safe and balanced | Winder’s water supply may run high on pH—monitor closely every 2–3 days in summer. |
| Empty skimmer & pump baskets | Ensures good circulation | Watch for pine needles and oak debris near Woodlawn and Bethlehem roads. |
3. Monthly Deep-Clean Tasks
-
Clean or backwash your filter (cartridge, sand, or DE) to manage heavier summer debris loads.
-
Shock the pool after rainstorms, high swimmer traffic, or parties.
-
Inspect O-rings, pump seals, and fittings—they degrade faster under prolonged summer heat.
-
Top off water—evaporation in July can exceed ½″ per day in North Georgia heat.
4. Got Algae? Try the “Winder Washout”
-
Brush pool thoroughly, focusing on shaded areas and pool steps.
-
Super-chlorinate to 10 ppm and circulate overnight.
-
Run your pump for 24 hours and clean your filter immediately after.
