Swimming pools are an increasingly popular form of recreation. Not everyone can afford expensive year-round pools. Fortunately, there are cheaper alternatives. They can be purchased at an affordable price and will not break our household budget. In home gardens and family allotments, rack and strut pools are an increasingly common sight. These, despite their simpler handling, also require our attention after the summer season. This raises the question of how to protect a rack pool for the winter?
Time is money, and in this age of a rushing world, it is hard for us to find a moment even for ourselves. That is why people are making life easier for themselves. These days, swimming pool hoovers seem to be indispensable for keeping a swimming pool clean quickly and easily.

Preparing a racked pool for winterisation is a simpler task compared to pools buried in the ground. Their construction and design allow easy assembly as well as disassembly. Anyone can manage this task. It is important to remember that these typically recreational and small tanks are not designed to stand in sub-zero temperatures.
Their construction and material can simply break down and our beloved pool will be fit for the trash. Leaving the water out for the winter "because of savings" is not a very good idea. The cost of buying a new pool after it has been damaged is far greater than the price of the water that will fill it.
In contrast to year-round pools, in our tank the water must be completely drained from the tank. Special drain valves are used for this. These are positioned low to get rid of all the water. If we have taken good care of it, we can use it to water the lawn, the flowers. It's worth looking at the instructions, which will tell you exactly where the valves are and how to operate them.
If we leave the water over winter, it could damage the pool by freezing. Expanding ice can shatter or tear the pool shell. The desire to save on water bills would turn into a bill for a new pool.
In that case, if we have disposed of the water and are not in danger of being damaged by increasing its volume, should we hide the pool? Absolutely yes! You should hide your racked pool for the winter. Frost is the worst thing that can happen to our pool. Although its surface can take the strain of the water and our games, it's vulnerable to freezing temperatures. Of course, before storing it, it needs to be properly cleaned of all impurities.
According to the recommendations, an in-ground pool may or may not need to be cleaned of tarnish and dirt. In the case of a racked pool, this is absolutely necessary. Well, unless you like mould and other fungi. An uncleaned pool is the ideal place for these types of micro-organisms to grow, which are harmful to our health. In addition, they give off a very unpleasant smell and can spread to other damp areas.
All we need to clean the surface of a racked pool is a cloth and a sponge. However, it's worth getting dedicated accessories. You'll find them in our shop. Things like nets and brushes can come in handy. To remove dirt, it is not enough to use just water and liquid, you need special chemicals. However, you should consult the instructions first to find out which chemicals you should never use under any circumstances so as not to damage the surface of your pool. When cleaning and scrubbing, pay particular attention to the bottom, water lines and bends. This is where dirt is most likely to accumulate.

A well-cleaned and, above all, dried swimming pool is a guarantee that it will not develop mould or other fungi. We can also be sure that no unpleasant smells will come out of it. Only then can you put the pool in a dry room. This could be, for example, a garage or a storage room of some kind. It would be good if it was warm, but this is not a prerequisite. The most important thing is that the temperature should not be below freezing. In the instructions, you will find information about the temperature at which the pool should be stored.
Please note that unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer in the accompanying documentation, the pool should be rolled up, not put together. Micro-damage may occur at the folds.
As you can see, preparing a rack or strut pool is very easy. Winterising it doesn't require as much work as with an in-ground pool. Remember that you will find all the most important information in the manual that comes with the pool you have purchased. Some people don't look at the manual after setting up, and that's a mistake. It contains a lot of important information about caring for, cleaning and preparing your pool for winter.
If you have lost the instructions, don't worry. Our advice is very universal. By following them, you will certainly not damage your pool and you will enjoy it for many years. However, it is worth looking on the manufacturer's website to see if they have included instructions for our model.
It too should be stored away, just like the pool. The unit is not suitable for outdoor conditions such as snow and frost.
As we mentioned. The material from which frame pools are made is not suited to very low temperatures. Frosts can destroy the material they are made of.
A swimming pool that is not cleaned is the ideal place for micro-organisms to grow. If left dirty for a few months in a warm, dry place, you may be surprised by the extent of fungal growth.
The Internet has a rich library of content. It is usually enough to type the manufacturer and model of your pool into a search engine to easily find a user manual.

Jestem bardzo zadowolona z usług tej firmy. Każdy nam odmawiał pomocy, nawet firma montująca basen. Pool system zjawił się i doprowadził basen sprzed paru lat do stanu używalności, co więcej dokonał napraw uszczelniających co spowodowało ze basen stał się w pełni sprawny. Naprawdę polecam !
Bardzo miła i sympatyczna obsługa oraz fachowe doradztwo techniczne.
Bardzo profesjonalna i cierpliwa obsługa. Odbierają telefony, wszystko dokładnie wytłumaczą, wysyłają praktycznie na drugi dzień każdą część którą potrzebuje klient. Pan Krzysztof z serwisu rzetelnie podpowie co zrobić i jak rozwiązać swój basenowy problem, jeśli chcemy majstrować przy basenie sami. Pan Paweł i Marcin też skarbnica wiedzy technologii basenowej. Dobre ceny. Polecam firmę i pozdrawiam zespół POOLSYSTEM
