Maltaās Mediterranean climate means pool season lasts longer ā but that also brings specific challenges as you transition into autumn. High humidity, lingering heat, and stormy days can take a toll on your pool water and equipment.
Bayrol offers professional-grade pool care products that help you protect your pool during Maltaās unique off-season. Here's how to prepare your pool this autumn, Maltese style.
š Why Autumn Matters ā Even in Malta
Warm water + sun = algae thrive well into November
Rain + wind = more debris and organic matter in the pool
Neglect now = green, murky water by spring
Scale buildup from Maltaās hard water worsens if ignored
So donāt just cover and forget. With Bayrolās help, a bit of effort now can save you hundreds in chemicals and cleaning next spring.
ā Step-by-Step: Autumn Pool Prep with Bayrol
1. Balance Your Water (pH First!)
Before anything else, test and adjust your pH to 7.0ā7.4.
Use Bayrol pH-Minus or pH-Plus
Balanced pH ensures chlorine and other chemicals work properly
2. Clean Like Itās Spring
Skim leaves, insects, and debris
Vacuum floor and brush walls
Empty skimmer baskets and clean filters
3. Shock and Sanitize
Even if you're still swimming occasionally, give your pool a shock treatment to reset the water:
Use Bayrol Chlorifix, Chloriklar, or Chloryte for rapid disinfection
Continue with your usual chlorination routine afterward
4. Add Winter Protection with PuripoolĀ® Super
Even in Malta, algae can grow during mild winters. Bayrolās PuripoolĀ® Super:
Prevents algae and scale formation
Keeps water clear even without full winterisation
Doesnāt foam ā ideal for Maltese pools with covers
š Dealing with Maltaās Hard Water
Scale is a big issue locally due to high calcium content. Use Bayrol Decalcit Filter to:
Clean sand or cartridge filters
Prevent clogging and inefficiency
Extend filter life
š§ Should You Fully Winterize?
Maltaās winters are mild, so you may not need full winterization, but you should still:
Reduce pump running time (e.g. 2ā4āÆh/day)
Install a winter cover to protect from dust, debris, and rain
Lower water level slightly if pool is prone to overflow in storms
Use winterizing floats in skimmers if you expect rare frost
