Nothing ruins summer fun faster than a swarm of mosquitoes, and for pool owners, mosquitoes can be a real problem. Swim University offers the following insights on keeping your pool swarm-free.Use a Pool Cover. Keep your pool covered whenever it's not in use to keep mosquitoes from setting up camp.
Keep water moving. Still water is heaven for mosquitos, who cannot develop in moving water - so make sure your pump and filter are running 8 to 10 hours every day.
Maintain your chemistry. Balancing proper chemicals in your pool will make it harder for mosquitoes to survive.
Dump standing water. If there is standing water elsewhere in your yard, you increase your chances of mosquitoes swarming. Overturn buckets, clear old tires, fill in tree holes, and look for any spots water may gather.
