As summer winds down and cooler weather arrives in Connecticut, most pool owners start thinking about closing their pools for the season. But fall is also an excellent time to take care of pool repairs, vinyl liner replacements, and equipment upgrades.
Instead of waiting until spring—when everyone is trying to get their pool ready at the same time—taking care of needed work in the fall can help ensure your pool is ready to enjoy when warm weather returns.
At L&J Pools, we help homeowners throughout Bethel, Danbury, Newtown, Ridgefield, Redding, and surrounding Connecticut areas get their pools repaired and ready for the next swimming season.
Why Schedule Pool Repairs in the Fall?
Once the swimming season ends, your pool can be worked on without interrupting your family’s time in the water.
Fall also gives you an opportunity to address problems you noticed during the summer instead of allowing them to become next spring’s problems.
A leaking liner, damaged coping, aging equipment, plumbing problems, or other repairs may not seem urgent once you’re finished swimming for the year. However, waiting until spring can mean discovering the same problem when you’re ready to open the pool.
By getting the work done in the fall, you can head into winter knowing those repairs have already been addressed.
Is It Time to Replace Your Vinyl Pool Liner?
Vinyl liners don’t last forever. Exposure to sunlight, pool chemicals, changing temperatures, and normal wear can eventually cause the liner to deteriorate.
Some common signs that your pool liner may need replacement include:
- Fading or significant discoloration
- Cracks, tears, or small holes
- Wrinkles or stretching
- Liner pulling away from the track
- Water loss that may be caused by a liner leak
- Brittle vinyl around fittings, steps, or corners
- A liner that is simply reaching the end of its useful life
If you noticed any of these issues this summer, fall can be a great time to have the pool inspected and determine whether a repair or complete liner replacement makes the most sense.
Replace Your Liner Now and Be Ready for Spring
Spring is one of the busiest times of year in the pool industry. As soon as temperatures rise, homeowners throughout Connecticut begin scheduling pool openings, repairs, liner replacements, equipment installations, and renovations.
Waiting until spring to start a larger project can delay when your pool is ready for swimming.
Scheduling your vinyl liner replacement or repair work during the fall can help you get ahead of that spring rush.
When next season arrives, you’ll be able to focus on opening and enjoying your pool instead of starting a repair project.
Fall Is Also a Great Time for Pool Equipment Upgrades
Your liner isn’t the only thing worth inspecting at the end of the season.
If your pool pump, filter, heater, salt system, automation system, or other equipment gave you trouble this summer, now is a good time to discuss repair or replacement options.
Upgrading aging equipment can improve reliability and, depending on the equipment being replaced, may also improve energy efficiency and make your pool easier to operate.
L&J Pools can help diagnose equipment problems and recommend repair or replacement options based on your existing pool system.
Don’t Forget About Other Pool Repairs
Fall is also a good opportunity to address other problems around the pool, including:
- Pool leaks
- Plumbing repairs
- Coping repairs
- Deck repairs or replacement
- Equipment repairs
- Pump and heater replacement
- Salt system problems
- Pool automation upgrades
- Vinyl and gunite pool repairs
Taking care of these projects after the swimming season means less disruption to your pool time.
