Winterization

TROPIKO pool roofing for the extended swimming season, a warm pool and azure clean water. For above ground and inground (circular / round) garden pools. Pool cover.After the end of the season, we recommend preparing the pool for winter with the “winterizer” product. This will prevent the formation of turbidity and deposits during the winter period and will greatly facilitate spring cleaning and commissioning of the pool.

Procedure: 1 liter of the product is enough for 20 m3 of water (calculate the volume of water with the water level in the pool lowered below the level of the jets and skimmer for the winter). Follow the instructions for use of the specific product according to the manufacturer. Pour the product into the pool diluted with water (at least in a ratio of 1:9) evenly along the entire edge of the pool according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Before adding the product, the manufacturer recommends adjusting the pH of the pool water to 7.0 (neutral) – 7.4 (very slightly alkaline) with the pH-MINUS or pH-PLUS product and adding a hardness stabilizing product – preventing the deposition of calcium compounds and other mineral salts in pools.

If you use a TROPIKO cover on your pool, it is necessary to open it before the onset of frost and secure it in this position. (More in the product instructions.) Before opening the cover, clean it of dirt and leaves. Place it in the middle so that water and snow flow from the folds of the foil towards the joints. If you have the opportunity to lean the dismantled TROPIKO against the wall of the garage, house, … under the eaves, or use a garden gazebo for storage over the winter, you will make it easier to clean the cover from the effects of rain and snow in the spring. The TROPIKO pool cover does not need to be disassembled in its entirety – remove the tarpaulin from the structure and disassemble the aluminum structure.
The materials used in the TROPIKO cover are resistant to year-round weather conditions. To keep the roof clean, you can put a TROPIKO winter cover on the roof or cover the roof with any kind of tarpaulin, foil,…
Treat the screw joints on the roof joints with lubricant before winter, for example, spray them with silicone oil.
