What Awaits Your Pool in December in Florida?

December in Florida doesn’t bring snow or freezing temperatures… but your pool still faces seasonal changes that can cause problems if it doesn’t receive regular maintenance.
Between dry weather, falling leaves, wind, and increased pollen, this month can be more challenging for your pool than you might expect.
Here’s what happens to your pool in Florida during December and why it’s one of the most important months to stay on top of maintenance.
1. More Debris from Wind and Dry Season
December brings:
- Stronger winds
- More leaves
- Dust
- Pollen
All of it ends up in your pool, causing:
- Clogged filters
- Blocked skimmers
- Restricted water circulation
If not removed promptly, the debris sinks, stains surfaces, and forces your equipment to work harder.
2. Temperature Fluctuations Affect Water Balance
Even though Florida stays warm most of the year, December comes with noticeable temperature shifts that impact:
- Chemical balance
- Chlorine effectiveness
- Algae growth
These fluctuations make keeping the water stable more difficult, especially if the pool goes several weeks without service.
3. Reduced Use = Higher Risk
During the holidays, many homeowners:
- Travel
- Host guests
- Have different routines
Pools get less attention, which means problems often go unnoticed until they’re expensive to fix.
Just a couple of weeks without maintenance in Florida can lead to:
- Cloudy water
- Algae
- Stains
- Overworked equipment
4. Common January Repairs
January is one of the busiest months for emergency calls in Florida—mostly from pools that were neglected through December.
The most common issues include:
- Green algae
- Scale buildup
- Clogged filters
- Damaged pumps
- Pools needing shock treatments
All of these problems are completely avoidable with monthly maintenance.
