Pool Closings
Have a worry free winter. Book your pool closing with Crush all chemicals included!
pool closings Overview
Need help closing your pool?
Our online booking system makes it easy to schedule your closing. Just select your preferred date, enter your information and you’re good to go! No payment is required to book (we do all of our billing the day after the pool has been closed).
At Crush Pools we take on a limited amount of pool closings each day. We do this to always send a crew with an experienced lead technician to ensure every pool closing is done properly (quality over quantity)!
We have kept our team small in order to always deliver a higher quality service than the typical pool company. Our office staff are here to help answer any of your questions. You get an emailed pool report with a photo of the pool after every closing!
We only use high quality equipment including industrial blowers to ensure all of your underground lines are blown out fully preventing any winter damage.
The only thing you need to do is book in early! Because we take on a limited amount of pools we always get fully booked. Have a worry free winter and book your closing with Crush today!

your questions answered
Do I have to be home for the pool closing?
Nope! Just make sure we have access to the backyard.
How do you close a pool?
Great question! We could explain it in words, but we’ve made a great video for you instead.
How long does it take to close a pool?
On average its 2 hours. However this ranges from pool to pool depending on size and cover.
I booked my pool closing but the weather is beautiful, can I reschedule?
Of course! We just ask you let us know 24 hours before the appointment. Please note if you don’t call and we show up at your house to close the pool and you want to reschedule or the pool is already closed there is a cancellation fee. That being said we are pretty understanding – if you forgot because you’ve been super busy with work, family etc. Call into our office to explain what happened and we will waive the fee.
I have a tarp & water bag cover, is it okay to hold it down with bricks or patio stones?
NO!!! If they fall into the pool they can severely damage your liner, costing you a lot of money to fix. You should also think about the additional safety hazards, using this method.
If I want to be home for my pool closing, will you call before you come?
Of course! Just let our admin staff know when you book the appointment and they will add a note to your file.
Is there anything I need to do before my pool closing?
We recommend you make sure the water is clear, balanced and you clean the bottom of your pool before the closing. What you don’t want is dirt sitting in the bottom of your pool all winter. If you are one of our weekly maintenance customers you don’t have to worry about doing this because we will do it all for you during our last maintenance visit!
What chemicals will you add when closing the pool?
We add 1 450g oxidizer shock pack, 1L of algaecide and anti-freeze.
What should I leave out for the pool closing?
Please leave out the pool cover, water bags (if necessary), plugs and any other pool closing parts specific for your pool.
What time will you come to close my pool?
Unfortunately it’s really hard for us to give an exact time of when we will be at your house. This is because we never know how long a pool will take to close until we get there! What we can do is send you an email the day before letting you know where you are on our list for the day and roughly what time we will be there at.
When should I close my pool?
As late as possible. Anytime after Thanksgiving is when we recommend (especially if you have a safety cover).
