Before first freeze
Pool closing: winterizing and cover install
We winterize the lines and equipment so the pool is ready for spring. Getting the water off the pump, out of the heater, and out of the plumbing is what stops a small winter job from turning into a large spring repair.
Who it’s for
Best fit
Owners closing an in-ground pool in a climate where freezes are certain.
Owners who close every year and want the plumbing pressure test documented instead of assumed.
What’s included
On every visit
01
Winter chemistry
Alkalinity, pH, and stabilizer set for winter carryover. Algaecide and shock as required by test.
02
Line blow-out
Skimmer, main drain, and return lines cleared with a compressor and plugged. Freeze plugs seated.
03
Equipment drain-down
Pump, filter, heater, salt cell, and chlorinator drained. Drain plugs bagged and left at the pad, not lost until April.
04
Cover install
Solid cover or mesh safety cover fitted; springs, straps, and anchors tightened. Water bags or pillows placed where the cover calls for them.

Pool opening
The opening decides how the whole season runs. A pool that starts up clean, balanced, and on a running filter needs less recovery in June and less chemistry in July.

Diagnostic and fix
Pool repairs
We find what's wrong and explain it before we replace anything. What broke, why it broke, what it costs to fix now, and what it costs to leave.
