Why You Should Winterize Your Pool

Winterizing a pool is not just about putting on a cover and leaving it for the season. It involves detailed preparation to ensure your pool, equipment, and water stay in top condition while it is not in use. Failing to winterize a pool properly can lead to freezing damage, broken equipment, and costly repairs come spring.

Pool Winterizing Steps

At Pool Service Co., we follow a process to ensure your pool is fully protected during the winter months. Here’s how we handle pool closing for the winter:

Step 1: Clean the Pool Thoroughly

We start the pool winterizing process by thoroughly cleaning your pool and removing any debris, leaves, and algae. A clean pool at closing helps prevent staining and buildup during the winter.

Step 2: Balance the Water Chemistry

We check and adjust the pool’s water chemistry to the ideal levels before closing. This includes balancing pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness to prevent corrosion, scaling, or liner damage during the winter. Pool closing chemicals like algaecides and chlorine shock are added to protect the water quality during the off-season.

Step 3: Lower the Water Level

We carefully reduce the water level to just below the skimmer and return lines to prevent freezing and pipe damage. Lowering the water level protects critical components like pool filters and pumps.

Step 4: Drain and Blow Out the Plumbing Lines

To prevent water from freezing inside your pool’s plumbing system, we drain and blow out the pipes. This essential step avoids cracked or burst pipes during freezing temperatures, which can result in expensive repairs.

Step 5: Remove and Store Pool Equipment

We remove any detachable pool equipment such as ladders, diving boards, and skimmer baskets. These items are cleaned and stored to prevent rust or damage over the winter.

Step 6: Install a Pool Cover

The final step is installing a high-quality pool cover to protect the water from debris and prevent accidental falls. We offer a range of durable, weather-resistant covers to suit your pool’s needs, ensuring it stays safe and clean throughout the winter.

How to Reopen Your Pool in Spring

When it’s time to reopen your pool, our pool reopening services make the process simple and hassle-free. We’ll clean the pool, rebalance the chemicals, reinstall any equipment, and inspect the system for any issues to ensure it’s ready for use.
