As cooler weather sets in, it’s time in Indiana to make sure your pool is closed the right way for the fall and winter months. While it might be tempting to do it yourself, properly closing a pool is more than just covering it. That’s where we come in.
Here’s what goes into a proper pool closing and why scheduling with our Partner Pool Company, Pools of Fun, is the best choice for winterizing your pool.
1. Balancing Your Pool’s Water Chemistry
One of the first steps is balancing water chemistry. Adjusting pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness helps prevent corrosion, scaling, and algae growth during winter. Make sure to have your pool water tested at one of the 5 Pools of Fun Customer Care Locations prior to starting the pool closing process.
2. Thorough Cleaning
Before the pool is covered, it needs to be cleaned. Skimming, vacuuming, and brushing the walls and floor prevent stains and buildup.
3. Draining Water to the Proper Level
Draining water to the correct level is essential to prevent freezing damage. If the water level is too high or too low, it can cause cracks or harm the pool’s equipment.
4. Winterizing Equipment
Your pump, filter, and heater systems all need to be properly winterized. Our team at Pools of Fun will drain the equipment and add antifreeze where necessary to protect it from freezing temperatures. You won’t have to worry about damage to your pool’s systems.
