Frequently Asked Questions
Here in the northeast (Long Island), we typically close pools around October.
However, we recommend closing as late as possible so that the water temperature is lower (less chance of algae blooming under the cover when you close later).
We’ve even closed pools in late December – so it’s really up to you (reach out about our pool heater service if you want to extend your season!).
Closing a pool by yourself is a formidable task – but with perseverance, determination, and some careful planning – it can be done. Here’s a general overview:
Balance the water chemistry and add winterizing chemicals
Clean the pool and lower the water level
Remove ladder and handrails
Disconnect the filter, pump, and peripherals
Clean the filter and filter tank
Drain, dry and winterize the plumbing (blow-out the lines)
Turn off your heater gas valve
Place the multiport valve in the closed position
Install the winter pool cover
Put the pump, chlorinator, and salt cell away for the winter
Yes, you should shock the pool before closing it. Adding sanitizer will help control any bacteria or algae that may be lingering in the water.
We recommend raising the free available chlorine level up to at least 3 ppm at closing time.
