- If you have placed your speakers near or around your pool so you can have music while you swim or have parties, be aware that according to AllOutdoorSpeaker.com, outdoor speakers, while water-resistant, may not be waterproof. Pool water contains harsh chlorinated particles that are particularly harmful to modern plastics and advanced materials. Occasional splashes may not harm your outdoor speakers, but constant exposure can affect the speakers' performance.
If the speakers come into contact with water by accident, either by a spilled drink or by rainwater, they won't suffer any long-term negative effects as manufacturers take contact with water into consideration. - Similar to caring for your backyard grill, it's recommended you cover your outdoor patio speakers with a tarp or other plastic covering. If you live in an area where you experience cold temperatures and snowy conditions, a plastic covering of some sort protects your speakers from cold or wetness. AllOutdoorSpeaker.com recommends not listening to your patio speakers in freezing temperatures as they may become brittle and crack.
