Why Winterize Your Pool?

Unlike northern states where pools are completely drained and closed for months, local pool "winterization" is different. It’s an active preparation process to handle our unpredictable weather. Here’s why it's essential:

• Prevent Freeze Damage: A sudden cold snap can freeze water inside your pump, filter, and plumbing, causing cracks and leading to thousands of dollars in repairs. 🥶

• Protect Your Pool Surface: Falling leaves can settle and stain your plaster or pebble surface, leaving ugly marks that are difficult and expensive to remove.

• Save on Chemicals & Energy: Properly balancing your water chemistry and adjusting run times for the cooler months saves money and prevents algae from taking hold.

• Ensure an Easy Spring Opening: A well-winterized pool means less cleanup, fewer chemicals, and less work to get your pool swim-ready when the warm weather returns. ✅

Our Pool Winterization Checklist

Our comprehensive service covers every aspect of fall and winter pool preparation. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all; we assess your pool's specific needs to create the perfect winter care plan.

Step 1: Thorough Cleaning & Debris Removal

We start by making sure your pool is spotless.

• Skim all surface debris, leaves, and acorns.

• Brush the pool walls, steps, and benches.

• Thoroughly vacuum the entire pool floor.

• Empty the skimmer and pump baskets.

Step 2: Winter Water Chemistry Balancing

Properly balanced water is key to preventing algae and protecting your pool’s surface.

• We test and adjust pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness levels.

• We add a preventative winter algaecide to keep your water clear.

• We apply a stain and scale preventer to protect your plaster and tile.

Step 3: Pool Equipment Winterization

This is the most critical step for preventing freeze damage.

• Clean the Filter: We perform a final backwash (for sand/DE filters) or cartridge cleaning to relieve pressure and remove contaminants.

• Protect the Pump & Plumbing: We can set your automation for freeze protection cycles, which circulate water when temperatures drop. For pools being shut down, we can drain water from equipment and blow out the lines to prevent freezing.

• Inspect and Service: We check o-rings, gaskets, and other components for wear and tear.

Step 4: Winter Cover Installation

A good cover is your pool's best defense against winter debris.

• We expertly install your winter safety cover, leaf net, or solar cover.

• We ensure a tight, secure fit to keep leaves out and maintain safety around the pool area.
