BEFORE THE HURRICANE:

Decrease water level, but DO NOT drain your pool. Lower water approximately 2-3 inches (never below skimmer) to accommodate heavy rains. The pool water will protect the finish of your pool from flying debris.

Turn off all electrical power to the pool equipment (pump, motor, lighting, chlorinators, etc.).

If your filter pump is in an unsheltered area, wrap it with a waterproof membrane and tie it securely in place. This will prevent sand and driving water from entering the motor.

Remove all loose items from pool area. It is not advised to place patio furniture or accessories into the pool.

Add extra chlorine to the pool, this will prevent contamination.

AFTER THE HURRICANE:

Remove all debris from the pool with a leaf rake before turning on pool equipment, debris left in pool may stain the finish.

Remove any wrapping around pump motor. Wait several hours to allow any condensation to dry up before turning on electricity.

IF PUMP IS FLOODED
Call Twin Lakes' Service Department for instructions at 434-5700.

Super chlorinate the pool and balance pH.

Run filter until water is crystal clear and resume normal pool operation.
