September Pool Chores: Don’t Let Your Backyard Go Full Ghost Town
September rolls in with cooler mornings, school drop-offs, and the slow disappearance of pool parties. The floats are deflated, the sunscreen’s retired, and suddenly your once-buzzing backyard feels... quiet.
But before you let your pool slip into seasonal neglect, there’s a checklist of chores that need attention—and trust us, this is not the time to ghost your water features.
Let’s Talk About What Your Pool Actually Needs Right Now
This month is all about transition. Whether you’re closing your pool for the season or keeping it open year-round, September is the moment to get ahead of the mess. That means:
Skimming leaves before they turn your pool into a compost bin
Balancing chemicals to avoid algae, staining, or surprise science experiments
Cleaning filters that have been working overtime since Memorial Day
Inspecting pumps, heaters, and automation systems before winter hits
Scheduling winterization if you’re shutting things down
And if your pool stays open? Even better. September is prime time for repairs, upgrades, and deep cleans while the weather still plays nice and your calendar isn’t packed with holiday chaos.
The “We’ll Get to It Later” Trap
You know that list of pool updates you’ve been mentally bookmarking since June? September is your window. Think:
Swapping out that worn pool cover before snow makes it a soggy mess
Upgrading lighting or automation systems while demand is low
Resurfacing or tile touch-ups before spring bookings explode
Installing energy-efficient pumps or heaters for better off-season performance
Basically, if your pool’s been whispering “fix me,” now’s the time to listen.
Why You Shouldn’t DIY This
