POOL CARE: With all this rain, let's talk about your pool

Luckily, my pool professionals reached out with some tips for our family and I want to share what I learned with you.

  • If you have an overflow pipe, it might not be enough to drain the pool by itself given the amount of rain we're experiencing.
