A shock treatment of your pool before wintering
Before wintering it is advisable to make a shock treatment of your pool. This allows total disinfection of the pool before wintering. A shock treatment with chlorine is generally carried out but it is also possible to carry it out with active oxygen which avoids corrosion or bromine.
To carry out the treatment, it is advisable to clean the swimming pool carefully and check the pH of the water, which should be at 7.0. Then you just have to scrupulously respect the dosages of the treatment and to turn the filtration of your swimming pool during 24 to 48 hours continuously. You can also choose a wintering product that will have the same effects as the shock treatment to limit limescale deposits, algae formation …
Wintering according to localities
Wintering your monobloc reinforced concrete pool in a cold region or in a warm region does not anticipate the same way. Indeed, if the climate of the region is harsher and we can anticipate possible winter frost, we advise you to make a shock treatment of your pool and once done to stop the filtration of water. This is called a total or passive overwintering.
To do this, it is necessary to implement shock treatment, cleaning the pool and emptying equipment (skimmer, filter, pump …). To prevent the water from freezing, cover your pool with a winter cover.
If you are in a region where the climate is milder especially in the South of France on the Côte d’Azur and more broadly in Provence, you can realize a wintering said active. It consists of running the pool at idle and filtering about 2 hours a day to better preserve the quality of the water. It is still necessary to regularly monitor the pool especially when the outside temperature is around 0 °.
Finally, whatever the region, it is best to winterize your pool as late as possible in order to keep the water quality up to the maximum and to maintain the reinforced concrete swimming pool all the time. year.
