GTGallop Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 I've never had to secure a pool for a hurricane. What do I need to do? I've already pre-shocked it in anticipation of rain water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strannik Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Put a pool cover on, so you don't get the debris in your pool? Although be prepared to get an occasional tree through the pool cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dymondgeezer Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Cross lash the cover on really tight with rope. We rode out Faye here in Jacksonville Florida and with only TS force winds the cover blew off several times, until I gave up fighting it. As soon as the rains hit I poured a gallon of liquid bleach in and after the cover blew off, we watched the pool turn into a compost heap! After Faye left, I raked out tons of leaves, pine straw and a few small branches, but the water stayed crystal clear and blue! We had a problem with the legs sinking into the flooded dirt, so we tapped pressure treated lumber squares under each leg with a hammer. Would advise doing this BEFORE the torrential rains begin! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
