Before closing your pool, you should thoroughly clean the pool floor, test and balance the water chemistry, and ensure all leaves and debris are removed. Proper preparation prevents winter staining and keeps your equipment safe from freeze damage. Taking the right preparation steps ensures a smooth closing process:

Clean & Vacuum: Debris left sitting over the winter can permanently stain pool finishes.

Balance Chemistry: Water should be properly balanced for pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels.

Add Winter Protection: Poured liquid chlorine and pool antifreeze through skimmer lines safeguard pipes from harsh freezing conditions.
