Pool Closing Chesapeake, Virginia

Closing your pool during the cold winter months when it is not in use is the best thing you can do to protect your investment. Fox Pools LLC’s pool closing service takes important steps to ensure that your pool and its equipment will be protected from the upcoming harsh winter weather. This service will also ensure you an easy pool opening process in the spring.

What Does Pool Closing Involve?

Our pool closing service involves skimming the surface to remove leaves bugs and other debris, brushing the walls of the pool and vacuuming the pool thoroughly to ensure it is clean. We drain the pool to a low water level, just below the skimmer and return lines to prevent freezing damage. After draining we turn off the drain and pump, filter, heater and any other equipment to prevent freezing. We pump air through the plumbing lines to further prevent any residual water from freezing inside the pipes. Then we test the water’s PH levels and alkalinity and adjust levels as needed to make it through the cold 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. Finally, we will install a pool cover to help keep out unwanted debris.

Properly closing your pool for the winter will help protect it from damage and make it easier to open when the warm weather returns.
