Pools and Fountains
It's time to look at emptying the backyard pool. Yep it's that time of year again that we look at our above ground pools and get them ready for the winter. If you own a intex soft pool you are indeed lucky. All you need to do is drain the water out and then wash and rinse the inside and then let dry before you fold it up and put it away. Just remember that if you have chlorine left in water still that you cannot simply drain it into your yard and then into the strom drains. Let the chlorine disipate until it is not reading anymore and then drain your pool.
This is also a good time to look at your water founains and think about draining the lines for these. Remove the water pumps if you can and all fittings that go with them. Don't leave these out for the winter or they are liable to crack when they freeze. Cooler weather creates moisture in the lines and this will freeze.
