PROTECTING WATER SOURCES
Drain Your Pool Safely this Fall
As pool season comes to a close, many pool owners may decide to drain their pools for cleaning or necessary repairs. Pool chemicals can contaminate water sources and may be toxic to fish, amphibians and plants, so it is important to remember a few tips when draining your pool to protect waterways and yards.
- Let your pool water sit for five to ten days to allow chlorine to break down naturally. Avoid adding chlorine to the water before draining. The water pH level should be between 6.5 and 8.
- Stop all chemical water treatments. Avoid adding any chemicals to help reduce the water pH.
- Slowly drain pool water onto your lawn. If possible, drain the pool slowly onto your lawn over a few days. Avoid draining the pool water directly into storm drains and be sure to watch where the water goes to avoid flooding your neighbor’s yard.
Following these three steps helps ensure the safety of your drinking water and the health of all the critters that swim in it and drink it.
