Welcome to the first ever Discount Pool Warehouse.com blog. These blogs will be my personal experiences with the swimming pool industry and with any luck at all you the reader will benefit from the time you spend here. Please expect useful information along with a little humor sprinkled here and there.

Here it is the dead of winter why would anyone possible want to even think about their pool? We there are things that go on with your pool year around, just because you are not using the pool does not mean it does not need to be considered. Don't neglect your pool because it will punish you. If you think I am kidding ask anyone who uses chlorine tablets as a sanitizer and they go on vacation for over 7 days only to return to a pool that has turned green with algae (envy that you got to go on vacation and it had to stay at home), Revenge!

So off-season think about what you want to do for your pool this summer. Maybe have it resurfaced, perhaps a new component for the filter system or maybe just planning when you want to open the pool up for the season. Keep in mind if you are thinking about when to open the pool if you have a mesh cover early is better! You will see more about when to open you pool in next month’s blog.

For now put another log on the fire and sip that favorite hot drink and contemplate what you want to do with your pool this spring!

Enjoy your off-season!
