Ohio winters are hard on pools. Freezing temperatures can damage plumbing, equipment, and surfaces if a pool isn't properly closed. Here's what a thorough pool closing typically covers.
Balance the Water
Water chemistry should be tested and adjusted before closing so that surfaces and equipment are protected through the months of low activity.
Clean the Pool
Remove leaves and debris, brush the walls and floor, and vacuum. Anything left behind can stain the surface over winter.
Lower the Water and Protect the Plumbing
Water levels are adjusted as appropriate for your pool and cover type, and lines are blown out and protected so trapped water doesn't freeze and crack them.
Prepare the Equipment
Pumps, filters, heaters, and other equipment should be drained and stored or protected according to manufacturer guidance.
Install the Cover
A properly fitted cover keeps debris out and makes spring opening easier.
