Closing your swimming pool for winter isn’t as simple as throwing in a few chemicals, putting on a cover, and calling it a season.
In this episode of The Chlorine King Pool Service Show, Erik — The Chlorine King — sits down with Jamie from PoolSupplies.com for a complete Pool Closing Masterclass.
We start with one of the biggest questions pool owners have: When should you actually close your pool? Is there a perfect date on the calendar, or should water temperature and Mother Nature make the decision?
From there, we break down the entire winterization process, including the proper sequence for your pool-closing chemicals and why the order matters.
We also get into what saltwater pool owners should do with their salt chlorine generator before winter and tackle one of the most intimidating parts of DIY pool closing: blowing out the plumbing lines.
Erik and Gary discuss the tools needed for the job, water levels for above-ground and in-ground pools, when pool antifreeze may be necessary, and why you should NEVER confuse non-toxic plumbing antifreeze with automotive antifreeze.
We also cover:
• How to protect your skimmer from freeze-thaw damage
• Winter pool covers vs. safety mesh covers
• What homeowners should know about proper cover fit
• Why you shouldn't simply install a cover pump and forget about it
• Off-season pool-cover maintenance
• Common DIY pool-closing mistakes
• How proper winterization can make opening your pool next spring dramatically easier
Whether you're closing an in-ground pool, above-ground pool, traditional chlorine pool, or saltwater pool, this episode will help you better understand what needs to happen before winter arrives.
The work you put into your pool at closing can have a major impact on what you find underneath that cover next spring.
