Home / Pool closings
Put the pool to bed the right way.
A careful closing protects plumbing and equipment through a shore winter and makes the spring opening much easier.
We start by cleaning the pool and balancing the water for the off-season, then lower the level if your system needs it. Lines are blown out and plugged so standing water can’t freeze and crack them. The pump, filter, and heater are drained and protected, and your cover goes on last.
If you’re already thinking about a safety cover, we can talk through measuring and installation. We’re an authorized Merlin safety cover dealer, so we can measure and install one.
Shore winters are quiet and corrosive at the same time. Salt air keeps working on equipment, and a house that sits empty won’t notice a shifted cover or a low water level until spring. A proper closing — plus an honest look at wear we can already see — is the best insurance against that kind of surprise.
Don’t wait for the first hard freeze. Fall schedules tighten once summer ends, so it’s better to pick a week early. If you’ve already left for the season, we can still close the pool and tell you when it’s done.
Questions we hear often
When should I close the pool?
Most pools in these towns close in early to mid-fall, before nights turn reliably freezing. We’ll help you pick a week that fits the weather and your calendar.
Do you install safety covers?
Yes. We’re an authorized Merlin safety cover dealer.
Can you close the pool after I’ve left?
Yes. Share access details, and we’ll send a note when the closing is complete.
Should I add Winter Watch?
If the house will sit empty, Winter Watch is the simplest way to catch a problem while the cover is on. You can add it when you book the closing.
