🏊♂️ Get Your Pool Summer-Ready: November Pool Care Guide
November is here, and that means the countdown to long summer days, backyard BBQs, and endless pool fun has officially begun! 🌞
But before you dive in, it’s the perfect time to get your pool summer-ready. A little preparation now will save you stress (and money) when the hot weather really kicks in.
At Pool Builders Pool Shop, we’ve put together a simple checklist to make sure your pool is sparkling, safe, and set for the season.
💦 1. Balance Your Pool Water
Summer heat can quickly throw your water chemistry off balance. Test and adjust your pool water now to avoid algae outbreaks and cloudy water later.
✅ pH should be between 7.2–7.6
✅ Chlorine levels should stay consistent
✅ Shock the pool if it hasn’t been used in a while
👉 Tip: Our team can carry out a comprehensive water test and provide the exact chemicals or minerals you need to get back on track.
🧼 2. Clean Your Filter
Your pool filter does most of the heavy lifting when it comes to keeping your water clear. November is the perfect time to give it a deep clean.
Cartridge filters: clean every 2–4 weeks.
Sand filters: backwash every 4–6 weeks.
A clean filter = better circulation, healthier water, and less stress on your pump.
🌱 3. Stay Ahead of Algae
Warm weather + sunshine = algae paradise. Once algae takes hold, it can turn your pool green fast.
Brush your pool walls weekly.
Run your pump for at least 8 hours a day in summer.
Keep chlorine and stabiliser levels consistent.

🧴 4. Upgrade to Mineral Pool Care
Thinking about making your pool water gentler on skin, hair, and eyes? November is a great time to switch to a magnesium mineral blend like Eco Clear Minerals. It reduces chlorine use and leaves your water feeling silky smooth — perfect for families and sensitive skin.
