How Does Pool Closing Work?

Our pool closing service involves the following steps to prevent winter damage and make re opening the pool easier when the weather warms up:

• 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.
• Draining the pool to a low water level, just below the skimmer and return lines to prevent freezing damage.
• Turning off the drain and pump, filter, heater and any other equipment to prevent freezing.
• Pumping air through the plumbing lines to further prevent any residual water from freezing inside the pipes.
• Testing the water’s PH levels and alkalinity and adjusting the levels as needed to make it through the cold winter months and avoid any corrosion or scale build up.
• Adding 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.

Proper pool closing for the winter will help protect the plumbing and surface from freezing water damage.
