Commercial Closing Services
Per the Pool and Hot Tub Alliance, when freezing temperatures are expected, an in-ground swimming pool or spa should be completely winterized by cleaning, balancing, and treating the swimming pool water and protecting the pool and equipment from weather related problems. It is necessary to winterize the plumbing and the equipment before it freezes. This is also a good time to check the functionality of all equipment to make sure everything is in safe and proper working order. After we have inspected the structure, plumbing, and equipment, we will make recommendations on any repairs that may be needed in the spring.
If a pool has been properly prepared and maintained during the winter months, it can be opened with relatively little effort the following season. If not, procedures may be complicated by problems such as; improper water chemistry, malfunctioning pump or heaters, and dirty filters. The equipment may need to be cleaned thoroughly or serviced prior to starting the circulation system.
Closing your swimming pool for the year should be handled by a professional. Our Certified Maintenance Specialists and Certified Service Technicians use only the industries best practices for closing your swimming pool.
