Pool Closing Services
As the crisp air of autumn breezes in, every swimming pool owner knows it’s time for pool closing. Just as a swimming pool brings endless fun in the summer, the pool closing process ensures its protection throughout the colder months. Let’s dive into the importance of this service and what our team at Coastal Pools offers.
The Importance of Closing Your Pool for Winter
Closing your pool for winter is crucial to protect both the swimming pool and its equipment from potential damage due to freezing temperatures. Whether you own an above-ground pool or an inground pool, proper closing safeguards the pool water, pool walls, and pool equipment from the havoc freezing weather can wreak.
Our Pool Closing Services
At Coastal Pools, our specialized pool closing services are tailor-made to your pool’s needs. For those with above-ground pools or the classic in-ground pools, our process involves the following:
- Draining the pool water to an optimal level to prevent expansion damage.
- Cleaning the pool to avoid algae growth.
- Comprehensive equipment maintenance, ensuring that the pool pump, pool filter, and other equipment are winter-ready.
- Application of winterizing chemicals to balance the water chemistry and inhibit algae.
- Securing with a winter pool cover to keep out debris and melted snow.
Our Professional Winterization Process
Our team follows a meticulous process. First, we balance the water chemistry – adjusting for pH, calcium hardness, and alkalinity. We then remove and store pool accessories like diving boards and ladders. Pool vacuum and cleaning ensure that no debris is left. Using an air compressor, we blow out the water lines, ensuring no water remains that could freeze. Finally, we add pool antifreeze to the lines as an added layer of protection.

Winter Maintenance Tips
Even after closing your pool, a little winter care goes a long way. Regularly check your winter cover for damage or water accumulation. Monitor the water balance periodically, even in the off-season. Ensure the air pillow beneath the cover (used especially for above-ground pools) remains inflated.
