Post-Storm Pool Recovery: Everything You Need to Recover Your Pool After a Hurricane
In the aftermath of a hurricane or storm, your pool may be left in disarray. From murky water to damaged equipment, it's important to address issues quickly to restore the safety and functionality of your pool. Here's a step-by-step guide to recovering your pool after severe weather.
1. Assess Equipment Damage
First, inspect your pool equipment—especially the pump, filter, heater, and chlorinator. If your pump was submerged, it may require professional inspection or replacement to avoid electrical hazards. Also, check for visible cracks or leaks in your filter and other parts.
2. Remove Debris
Remove all large debris from the pool using a skimmer or pool net. This prevents damage to your pool system and helps prepare for the next steps.
3. Clean and Balance Water Chemistry
After removing debris, vacuum the pool and brush the walls. Shock the pool with chlorine to kill bacteria and contaminants brought in by floodwaters. After 24-48 hours, test and balance the pH, alkalinity, and chlorine levels.
4. Run the Filtration System
Run your pool filter continuously for 24-48 hours to help clear the water of particles and fine debris. Be sure to clean or backwash the filter regularly during this process to prevent clogging.
5. Consider Professional Help
If your pool equipment is seriously damaged or you face extensive flooding, call a pool professional. They can assess any repairs needed and help ensure your pool recovers safely.
With prompt attention and care, your pool can be back to pristine condition, even after severe weather. Proper post-storm recovery helps protect your pool investment and ensures it remains a safe place for enjoyment.
