Preparing your pool for hurricanes Before the storm: Afternoon thunderstorms, tropical storms and hurricanes can drop a lot of water onto your pool deck and out to your yard.

The first step is to make sure as much water as possible drains from the deck as quickly as possible. Test how well your deck drains by using a garden hose to spray water on the deck and watching how quickly the water disappears. If you don't have a deck drain, make sure high grass, dirt, mulch or stones do not block the edge of the deck. These obstacles can prevent water from quickly moving off the edge and into the yard. What to do when a storm approaches?

Keeping sufficient water levels in your pool provides the important weight to hold the sides and bottom in place, especially when heavy rains that accompany most storms raise the local water table.

Never empty your pool. Pools that have been emptied may experience serious structural problems and could even be lifted off their foundations.

If your pool is properly equipped with adequate drains and skimmers and the surrounding area is properly drained, the water level can probably be left as it is. Clear the area around any deck drains to allow maximum water flow off your deck.

It is recommended that you superchlorinate the pool water. You should shock the pool as you normally would.

All electric power should be turned off at the circuit breakers before the storm hits.

If you cannot store loose objects such as plastic or PVC chairs, tables, pool equipment and toys inside a building and your pool is concrete, gently place them in the pool to help shield them from the winds. Just dropping them in may scratch or damage the inside finish of your pool.
