As summer begins to wind down and the weather begins to change soon, it’s time to think about fall. But this doesn’t mean you have to get out of the water. Now’s the perfect time to transition and close your above ground pool and add or open your spa or hot tub!

While you may have already been using your hot tub or spa this summer, it’s time to turn up the heat on it and focus on making sure it’s ready for more use this fall.

Similar to a pool, spas and hot tubs have opening routines and regular maintenance to ensure the water is safe, clean, and clear.

As summer starts to slowly come to an end, it’s time to think about when you want to close your pool for the winter. Depending on where you live, the climate will be a good indicator, as well as if you have children heading back to school and less usage.

When figuring out when to close, it’s best to do so when the temperatures start to stay below 65 degrees to avoid algae growth, which likes the heat.

When the time comes to set a date and winterize, it’s important to properly close your pool to avoid damage and unnecessary repairs. Proper closing also ensures protecting the integrity of your pool and making it easier to open next swim season.

Follow these steps to properly close your pool and winterize.

Sometimes it’s the small details that make the most significant impact. If you have an above ground pool or patio furniture (or both), it’s the accessories that can really make your space feel whole and cohesive.

And there’s an abundance of accessories you can add to your outdoor space to enhance the environment and create an outdoor oasis that reflects you.

Your hot tub is a relaxing oasis that offers peace, quiet, and a sanctuary away from a world that is filled with stress and distractions. While there’s nothing wrong with soaking in your hot tub as it is, you can elevate your spa experience with the help of hot tub accessories.

Spa accessories for hot tubs not only make relaxing more convenient but can also add fun and comfort. Keep reading as we’ve rounded up 14 of the best hot tub accessories that you’ll want to add to your list for your next trip to Watson’s!

One of the most common questions we get asked in our Games & Rec department: ”How much is a pool table?" The pool table is one of the most iconic and popular game tables in history. And it is no wonder why. Playing pool is a fun and easy pastime that you can do all year round! In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to find a game room that doesn’t include or showcase a pool table.

Arranging your patio furniture is no different than arranging your indoor furniture. Regardless of whether you only have a few smaller pieces or a large space with many outdoor furniture pieces, arranging it correctly can make a big difference.

When it comes to above ground pool covers, there’s a little more than meets the eye when selecting which one to use.

Maintaining your pool to keep it clean and safe is a necessity. One of the essential tools to do this is a pool cleaner.
