🌧️ Pool Tip Tuesday! Is your pool area ready for the upcoming wet season? 🌧️
With the wetter months approaching across South East Queensland, now is a great time for Gold Coast and Brisbane pool owners to make sure their pool area is prepared for heavy rainfall. ☔💦
Here are a few simple things to keep an eye on:
✅ Check for pooling water – Make sure surface water isn't sitting around your pool, coping or surrounding areas. Good drainage helps prevent water from building up where it shouldn't.
✅ Keep your drains clear – Remove leaves and debris from drainage areas so heavy rain can flow freely, not toward your pool.
✅ Watch for wash-outs or erosion – After periods of heavy rain, check around your pool area for any signs of soil movement or water washing away surrounding ground.
✅ Avoid unnecessary weight near the pool – During very wet conditions, try to avoid placing heavy items or machinery around the pool area, particularly where the ground may be soft.
✅ Keep an eye on your pool water level – Heavy rainfall can quickly raise the water level in your pool. If you don't have an automatic overflow installed, you may need to use the waste valve at your filtration system to lower the water level when required.
