As cooler weather approaches and leaves begin to fall, your pool’s maintenance needs change. Fall brings unique challenges like lower water temperatures, more debris, and fluctuating chemical levels. With the right pool care products and a smart seasonal routine, you can keep your water crystal clear, extend your swimming season, and protect your investment.
Our Fall Sale runs September 11–14,2025, making now the perfect time to stock up on everything you need for autumn pool maintenance.
Even though swimming slows down in cooler months, proper water balance and algae control remain essential to your fall pool care routine. Falling leaves and wind-blown debris add organic material that can cloud your water, clog your filter, and feed algae growth. Cooler water may hold chlorine longer, but leaves, rain, and organic matter can still disrupt your chemistry. Testing your pool water weekly in the fall will help you stay ahead of potential issues.
A quality pool heater can extend your swimming season well into the fall, allowing you to enjoy warm water for morning laps or weekend pool parties even as the temperatures drop. Heat pumps are ideal for moderate climates and are energy-efficient for maintaining water temperature, while gas heaters quickly raise the temperature for on-demand warmth.
Autumn leaves may be beautiful, but they can wreak havoc on your pool. Excess debris can stain surfaces, clog filters, and disrupt circulation. Running your cleaner more frequently in the fall prevents leaves and other debris from sinking and breaking down in the water, making them harder to remove.
By preparing now, you can enjoy a cleaner, warmer, and healthier pool all season long. If you'd rather chill than clean, Pinch A Penny offers expert pool service to help keep your water crystal clear, your equipment running smoothly, and your backyard ready for relaxation.
