In part one of this two-part episode, hosts Wayne and Steve dive into the crucial steps for preparing and caring for a swimming pool in the event of a major weather event like a hurricane. They start by emphasizing the importance of early preparation, highlighting the need to secure loose items around the pool area to prevent them from becoming dangerous projectiles.

Wayne and Steve then discuss the necessity of balancing the pool's chemistry ahead of the storm, particularly adjusting pH levels and shocking the pool with chlorine to prevent algae growth. They also advise against draining the pool, explaining that the weight of the water helps to stabilize the structure against high winds and potential flooding.

The episode further explores how to protect pool equipment, such as pumps and filters, from water damage and debris. Wayne and Steve suggest turning off the power to all pool equipment and covering it with waterproof tarps or specially designed covers.

Throughout the discussion, the hosts share practical tips and personal experiences, making this episode a vital resource for pool owners and service professionals preparing for extreme weather. They stress that taking these proactive measures can significantly reduce the damage and cleanup required after the storm has passed.
