But between family visits, decorations and maybe a little travel, it\u2019s easy for your pool to be overlooked.<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s why our team at D&J The Pool Resurfacers created this quick guide: to help you keep your pool clear, safe, and ready, whether you\u2019re hosting a Christmas barbecue or heading out of town.<\/span><\/p>\n If your pool will be part of your celebrations, a few small steps will make a big <\/b>difference:<\/span><\/p>\n \u2705 Shock your pool 2\u20133 days before guests arrive to keep the water crystal clear.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2705 Check the filtration system \u2014 clean the skimmer baskets and make sure your pump runs at least 8 hours a day.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2705 Add an enzyme product to help remove oils or sunscreen left behind by swimmers.<\/span><\/p>\n And remember: more people in the pool means more chlorine demand, so test levels daily during back-to-back gatherings.<\/span><\/p>\n Leaving town? Don\u2019t let your pool become a \u201cgreen surprise.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Here\u2019s what we recommend before packing your bags:<\/span><\/p>\n Run a full cleaning cycle the day before you leave.<\/span><\/p>\n Lower the water level slightly to account for rain or evaporation.<\/span><\/p>\n Use a pool cover if you\u2019ll be away more than a week.<\/span><\/p>\n Ask a neighbor or hire a maintenance service to check chlorine and debris once a week.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You\u2019ll come back to clear water \u2014 not an algae bloom.<\/span><\/p>\n While Florida winters are mild, unexpected cold fronts can sneak up on you.<\/span><\/p>\n If temperatures drop below 50\u00b0F, reduce filtration hours slightly but don\u2019t shut the system off completely.<\/span><\/p>\n Running the pump for at least a few hours a day prevents pipes from freezing and keeps water circulating evenly.<\/span><\/p>\n The end of the year is the perfect time for a quick inspection.<\/span><\/p>\n Check your surface for stains, rough spots, or fading \u2014 small issues now can become big repairs later.<\/span><\/p>\n If you notice any wear, our team at D&J can schedule a resurfacing or deep clean early next year to start 2026 with your pool in top shape.<\/span><\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re staying in Orlando or heading out for the holidays, we\u2019re here to make pool care simple.<\/span><\/p>\n From maintenance to complete renovations, D&J helps you enjoy every season \u2014 stress-free.<\/span><\/p>\n D&J The Pool Resurfacers \u2014 We build.
