When swimming season comes to an end, closing your pool properly is one of the smartest investments you can make. Many pool owners underestimate the importance of this step — but skipping or rushing it can lead to costly repairs, algae blooms, or even cracked plumbing when temperatures drop. Pool closing is more than just covering the water; it’s about protecting your system from winter damage and ensuring an easy reopening next spring. In this post, we’ll walk you through the essential steps to close your pool safely and efficiently.
From water chemistry and cleaning to equipment care and cover installation, you’ll learn exactly how to safeguard your pool investment through the off-season. With just a bit of attention now, you can prevent major problems later and open your pool next year in perfect condition.
