Winterizing your pool properly saves you from costly repairs in spring. Here’s how:
- Clean the Pool Thoroughly – Vacuum and brush all surfaces.
- Balance Water Chemistry – Adjust pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness.
- Add Winterizing Chemicals – Use a pool closing kit with algaecide, chlorine, and stain prevention
chemicals.
- Lower Water Level – Drain water below skimmer level to avoid freeze damage.
- Cover the Pool Securely – Use a heavy-duty winter cover with a tightening kit.
Optional: Use an air pillow under the cover to absorb ice expansion.
