Why Seasonal Pool Closing Matters
Closing your pool at the right time prevents:
- Damage from freezing water or harsh weather
- Algae and bacteria growth during the winter months
- Equipment problems like cracked pipes or damaged pumps
A timely pool close preserves your investment and makes spring reopening a breeze.
Steps for a Perfect Seasonal Close
- Deep Clean – Remove leaves, debris, and thoroughly brush walls.
- Balance the Water – Adjust pH, alkalinity, and calcium levels to protect surfaces and equipment.
- Add Winter Chemicals – Shock and add algaecide to prevent growth during winter.
- Lower the Water Level – Protect plumbing and avoid freeze damage.
- Drain or Store Equipment – Pumps, filters, and hoses should be winterized.
- Cover Your Pool – A quality cover keeps dirt, leaves, and animals out.
