For single-family rental owners, property management companies, and REO asset managers, pools are valuable amenities — but only when they’re properly maintained. While winter may feel like an “off-season,” pools don’t stop aging, shifting, or deteriorating just because temperatures drop.

Without a winter pool service plan, owners often face costly repairs, delayed spring readiness, and unexpected operational headaches. Whether a property is occupied or vacant, proactive winter pool care helps prevent surprises when warmer weather returns.

Owning a single-family rental property with a pool can be a great asset, attracting tenants and potentially increasing your rental income. However, maintaining a pool can also present unique challenges, especially when it comes to managing water levels. To put it plainly . . . pools present challenges.  Even so, several tools exist that can alleviate some of the challenges for pools at single-family rental properties.  One solution that is gaining popularity among savvy property owners is the installation of a pool sentry device, also known as a pool auto-fill. This small investment can lead to significant cost savings and prevent major headaches down the road.

Single Family Rental Investors and Property Owners should maintain their pools properly during the winter months! 🏊‍♀️ Not only will it prevent yucky green pools from developing but it will reduce costs in the long run. 💲
