How Does Pool Closing Work?

Closing a pool for the season involves several important steps to ensure that the pool and its equipment are protected from the freezing cold winter weather, making it easier to re-open when the warm weather returns.

Our Pool Closing service involves:

• Skimming the surface to remove leaves bugs and other debris as well as brushing the walls of the pool and vacuuming the pool thoroughly to ensure it is clean.
• Testing the water’s PH levels and alkalinity and adjusting levels as needed to make it thru the winter months and avoid any corrosion or scale build up. We add chlorine shock to the pool to kill any remaining bacteria and algae, then we allow the pool pump to run and circulate the chlorine throughout the system.
• Draining the pool to a low water level, just below the skimmer and return lines to prevent freezing damage. We then turn off the drain and pump, filter, heater and any other equipment to prevent freezing and pump air through the plumbing lines to further prevent any residual water from freezing.
• Finally we install a pool cover to continue to keep out unwanted debris.
