Century Pools, a Northern California pool construction company serving the region since 1964, announces comprehensive seasonal maintenance and safety guidelines to help homeowners prepare their pools for changing weather conditions while maximizing energy efficiency and reducing operational costs.
As temperatures begin to shift and seasonal weather patterns change across Northern California, proper pool maintenance becomes critical for protecting investments and ensuring safe swimming environments. The Orangevale-based company has developed educational resources addressing common seasonal challenges that pool owners face, from water chemistry adjustments to equipment winterization and energy conservation strategies.
“Seasonal transitions represent critical maintenance periods for inground pool owners, and proper preparation can extend pool life by years while significantly reducing energy costs,” said Patrick O’Neal, senior representative at Century Pools. “We’re seeing homeowners save hundreds of dollars annually by implementing simple seasonal adjustments to their pool systems, from optimizing pump schedules to adjusting chemical balances for temperature changes.”
The company’s seasonal guidelines address three primary areas of concern for pool owners: safety protocols during weather transitions, preventive maintenance strategies, and energy-efficient operation methods. These recommendations come as utility costs continue to rise across California, making energy conservation increasingly important for pool owners.
Safety considerations include proper cover installation and securing, electrical system inspections before storm seasons, and maintaining appropriate water levels to prevent structural damage during temperature fluctuations. The guidelines emphasize the importance of professional inspections for older pool equipment, particularly heating systems and pumps that may require adjustment or replacement before seasonal demands increase.
Maintenance recommendations focus on water chemistry adjustments necessary as temperatures change, filter cleaning schedules, and equipment calibration. The company notes that many pool owners overlook the impact of seasonal debris on filtration systems, leading to premature equipment failure and increased energy consumption.
Energy efficiency strategies highlighted in the guidelines include optimal pump runtime scheduling, solar heating integration opportunities, and variable-speed pump benefits. These measures align with California’s ongoing energy conservation initiatives while helping homeowners manage operational costs.
“Every Inground Pool has unique maintenance requirements based on its design, location, and usage patterns,” added O’Neal. “Understanding these seasonal variables helps owners protect their investment while ensuring their pools remain safe and enjoyable throughout the year.”
The educational initiative reflects the company’s commitment to supporting pool owners beyond initial installation, recognizing that proper maintenance education contributes to customer satisfaction and pool longevity.
Century Pools has served Northern California communities for nearly six decades, specializing as an inground pool builder offering custom design, construction, and maintenance services. The family-owned business maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and offers various pool styles including gunite, geometric, freeform, and pool-spa combinations. The company combines traditional craftsmanship with modern construction techniques to create custom pool solutions for residential properties throughout the Sacramento region.
