Top 5 Reasons to Schedule Pool Closing from Your Favorite Inground Pool Contractor

A little girl waves goodbye to pool season. Find the best pool closing tips from Fronheiser Pools, your trusted inground pool contractor.
As fall settles over Pennsylvania, it’s time to prepare your swimming pool for the winter months ahead. Properly winterizing your pool with a professional pool company is essential to protect it from freezing temperatures and to ensure a smooth opening come spring. At Fronheiser Pools, your trusted inground pool contractor with locations in Bally and Sinking Spring, we’re here to share exactly what we do to help you safeguard your investment.

Why Winterize Your Pool?

Winterizing your pool prevents damage caused by freezing water, which can crack pipes, filters, and other equipment. It also helps maintain water quality, reducing the need for excessive pool chemicals when you reopen your pool. By taking the time to professionally close your pool correctly, you prolong its lifespan and save on costly repairs down the line.

Professional Pool Closing: Protect Your Favorite Backyard Space

At Fronheiser Pools, we are experts in protecting your swimming pool from the harsh Pennsylvania winters. From snow to ice, we know everything there is to know about how to keep your pool safe and sound. Here are a few things we do during professional pool closing service.
  1. 1. Clean Your Pool Thoroughly: Before closing, we meticulously clean your pool. During closing service, we bring all the necessary pool supplies and chemicals, making it effortless on your end. Our technicians skim off leaves and debris, vacuum the bottom, and brush the walls. A clean pool helps prevent algae growth and makes the reopening process easier. With care and attention from your Fronheiser pool cleaning company, you know your pool will fare well in foul weather.
  2. 2. Balance Your Pool Chemicals: Next, we test and adjust your pool’s pH, alkalinity, sanitizer, and calcium hardness levels. Proper chemical balance prevents problems over the winter. Our pool supply store carries the leading brands of winterizing chemicals, helping us get the job done right. 
  3. 3. Lower the Water Level: Freezing temperatures can damage pool plumbing. So, we reduce the water level to below the skimmer and return lines to prevent freezing and cracking. Plugs are also inserted to keep your pipes clear during the off-season months when snow and ice melt.
  4. 4. Drain and Protect Equipment: It’s not just your plumbing that needs draining. We also drain water from pumps, filters, heaters, chlorinators, and other equipment, disconnecting them and safely storing them. We also remove and help you store accessories like ladders and diving boards. Then, when you choose our professional pool opening service in the spring, we put all your pristine equipment back where it belongs.
  5. 5. Secure a Quality Pool Safety Cover: Finally, we tuck your pool in for the winter. We can use your existing cover, or we offer just the right durable, tight-fitting pool safety cover from GLI, custom-designed for your pool to keep out debris and sunlight, which can promote algae growth. A good cover also acts as a safety barrier while your pool is not in use.
