Most Las Vegas pools operate year-round due to the desert climate, with peak season from May through October. Many commercial pools and resorts stay open 24/7 during peak months, while residential pools typically benefit from heating systems November through March.
Pool winterization involves balancing chemicals, protecting equipment, and proper closing procedures. The process varies by climate zone but typically includes shocking, lowering water levels, and winterizing plumbing to prevent freeze damage.
Whether you need to winterize your pool depends on your climate zone. Areas with freezing temperatures require full winterization, while warmer regions need only reduced maintenance and chemical adjustments.
Pool blankets are beneficial for most pools, reducing chemical usage by 35-60%, heating costs by 50-70%, and water evaporation by 95%. The decision depends on your climate, pool usage, and budget priorities.
You can leave an above ground pool empty temporarily, but extended emptying risks structural damage from ground pressure and UV exposure. Proper winterization or partial draining is usually safer than complete emptying.
Whether you need a robotic pool cleaner depends on your pool size, debris levels, available cleaning time, and budget. Most pools over 20,000 gallons with heavy debris benefit significantly from robotic cleaners.
