Saugus Conservation Commission – Pool Closing Guidelines As an educational reminder, we would like to advise Saugus residents
who have a pool, regarding the process of closing it for the season.
The Conservation Commission uses the following guidelines:
The chemical content of water in swimming pools can be detrimental to
wetland plants and animals.To remove harmful chemicals, it is the owner’s
responsibility to adjust the PH to a neutral range (6.8 - 7.2) and to leave
pool water standing, uncovered, for a minimum of seven (7) days without
the addition of chlorine.Drain water slowly, over several days, onto
vegetated surfaces and away from wetlands.
