Fall 2021 Newsletter

We can only hope things start looking up and for an extended summer like we had last year, but summer is nonetheless coming to an end. It’s time to start thinking about closing your pool or at least preparing for it. You can still book an appointment with us to come and close your pool, but hurry because our books are filling up. If you have an appointment already but would like us to visit sooner or later than originally scheduled, let us know and tell us your preferred closing date. We will do our best to accommodate your needs!

Not sure how to close your pool? Stop by either of our stores and our friendly staff will guide you through all you need to know as well as answer any questions you may have. We have free, step-by-step instructions available at both locations! Here are some things that we highly recommend that you do for the closing season to ensure an easier opening for next spring!

  • Bring in a water sample to test and balance your pH and alkalinity before you close,
  • Use one of our amazing pool closing kits along with 4 gallons of liquid chlorine,
  • After you’re all closed for the season, bring in your pump for a winter overhaul!

During pool season, we always recommend that you run your pump 24/7. If you did 

this, your pump ran for about 1750 hours in the summer heat and rain. We strongly recommend that you bring in your pool pump for a winter check, especially if you haven’t before and/or you live in an area with a lot of cottonwood. Our winter pump overhaul can help extend the life of your pump by several years if done on a yearly basis. It would shock you some of the things that can find their way into your pump or motor. Bees’ nests, snakes, cottonwood, and all other sorts of fun from nature have been found lingering after a long season. These can cause serious damage. Don’t let this happen to you! 

Due to the pandemic, raw materials to make many products are difficult to get and we may have difficulties keeping some things in stock. Please purchase what you need as soon as you can because restock supplies may be difficult to get. Be safe this winter, and we’ll see you next year!

Fall 2014 News

Another summer is coming to an end. It is now time to start planning for the fall closing of your pool. We, at American Pool Supply, are accepting closing and winterizing appointments. Our calendar is filling up very quickly this year so be sure to call and book a closing date today!

Remember, if we have an extended summer you can always call and move your date back. If you book a date and would like to be moved up we will do our best to accommodate you. Let our staff know what week you would like and we will do our best to fit you in. If you choose to close your own pool, stop into one of our stores for FREE written instructions on how to close your pool. We are fully stocked with all your winterizing supplies. Our friendly staff is ready to help answer all of your closing questions. There are a few steps we highly recommend to ensure a crystal clear pool in the spring. Make sure before you close your pool you start with having a FREE computerized water analysis. We are most concerned about the balance of the pH and Alkalinity, which are very important to make sure that all of the winter chemicals work properly and thoroughly. We carry only the best chemical winterizing kits available. Even mesh covered pools stay clear and blue with our kits. American Pool is dedicated to providing you with the best winterizing products and information available.

I would like to encourage you to bring in your pool pump for a winter check. Many of them were brought in this season in extremely rough shape and customers ended up buying new pumps when they could have gotten a few more years out of them. This could be avoided by a yearly winter check to change the seal, bearings, and to clean the debris collecting inside the motor that causes internal damage. I have seen everything from bee nests, snakes, grass, and leaves plugged up inside a motor. Your motor has a fan to suck cool air through to keep it from overheating, but when it gets plugged it will cause the motor to stop running or burn up. You should have preventative maintenance done every fall to ensure the maximum life of your pump. If we do it in the winter you should get through the season with little to no problems.

We would like to thank you for your patronage during the summer 2014 season.
