When the temperature drops, chemistry changes. Pools must be treated differently in the winter than they are in the summer. The vast majority of damage to swimming pools occurs during the winter. And that’s when nobody is paying attention. Whether your pool freezes or just gets down into the 50ºs or 60ºs, water temperature always matters.

Put in perfect water chemistry, then drop the temperature from the 80ºs down to the 30ºs or 40ºs. Our calculator will show a RED LSI value at the bottom, telling us the otherwise perfectly balanced water becomes aggressive in the winter. Read More
