What Happens When a Pool is Not Properly Closed?
In colder climates, the equipment on an inadequately winterized pool can freeze and become irreparably damaged when frozen parts begin to thaw. Extreme temperature fluctuations can ruin a filtration system and piping when not protected. In addition, Garden City Pools recommends a final water test and chemical balancing for pool water using specific products that are designed to protect pool surfaces and piping when not in use.
Draining the Water Lines
Disassembly of your pool’s equipment involves more than just pulling apart the piping. Our technicians drain and then dry all equipment and apply antifreeze treatments when necessary. Our technicians have been trained to safely shutdown any type of pool heater system and are also experienced with the maintenance of salt water systems.
Closing a pool efficiently can challenge even the most experienced pool owner. Contact Garden City Pools pool experts to schedule an appointment and for answers to any questions you may have.
Benefits of Our Extensive Pool Closing Service
Winter can be an unwelcome season if you’re used to hopping in your backyard pool for a quick dip. As unwanted as the colder weather might be, taking the proper measures to ensure your pool survives the colder season is essential. This includes closing the pool down during the cooler months with the proper procedures. As an experienced pool company, we know the most significant advantages of winterizing your pool, including the following benefits:
Secure the Pool Plumbing
Negative temperatures can cause the water in your pool to freeze and contract, leading to cracks, leaks, and other forms of damage in the plumbing system. During our closing service, we’ll help you secure your pool plumbing to ensure you’re not faced with extensive repairs when you open it up in the spring.
Stop Algae Growth in Your Pool
As temperatures drop, the water in your pool can become more susceptible to algae and fungi growth. Our team will drain the water in your pool to keep the space clear and thoroughly disinfect all surfaces to ensure no unwanted plants begin to take root.
Protect Pool Equipment
Pumps, filters, and heaters can be significantly damaged by freezing temperatures. Our winterizing process will keep them safe through the colder months, ensuring they remain insulated and protected.

We’ll provide a detailed pool closing service to help you avoid expensive repairs. With our preventative measures in place, you can save the money you would otherwise spend on getting your pool back in shape after winter.
