The Benefits of Professional Pool Winterization

Winterizing a pool ensures an effortless opening for the following season.

The pool season is at its finale, and pool owners are closing them for the off-season. When cold days arrive, simply covering a pool may not protect it long-term. Winterizing a pool ensures an effortless opening for the following season.

Here are a few advantages of hiring a professional pool winterization service:

Proper equipment

Winterization is more complex than throwing a protective cover over the pool. It requires proper equipment for the pool maintenance, including a blower, water pump, and more. Private pool owners rarely own or have sufficient skills and time to use these tools. A professional service has everything needed to complete this complicated job efficiently.

Protects the pipes from damage

Cold temperatures in winter can cause severe damage to pool pipes if left unprotected. Unwinterized pool pipes are prone to cracking and breaking. In addition, they can be costly to replace if damaged over the winter. Hiring a professional to winterize the pool will ensure that every part of the pool is safe from winter’s harm.

Saves time

Winterizing a pool is time-consuming, especially when lacking the skills and equipment. But, even if all the resources are available, closing the pool for winter steals plenty of valuable time. A professional pool closing service will do all the challenging work and save the owner from breaking a sweat.

Expert knowledge and skills

Adequate winterization is essential for the pool’s health. If the pool is improperly prepared for the low temperatures, it can cause damage and an unwanted hit to the owner’s budget. Certified professionals can prevent this from happening since they have the knowledge and skills to complete this process efficiently.

Ensures safety

Proper winterization requires heavy tools, and attempting to conduct it alone could increase the risk of injury. Hiring an experienced team to handle the hard work will keep the homeowner from injuries. In addition, a correctly installed pool cover keeps household members from accidentally falling into the pool.

Maintains water health

Water chemistry is essential to pool health, and winter weather requires reaching the correct chemical levels. A professional winterization service provides a water testing kit that ensures optimal water chemistry in the pool in cold weather. In addition, winterization keeps the water healthy during the off-season.

Saves electricity

Pool filters use a lot of electricity. Therefore, temporarily disabling the water filter for the winter lengthens its lifespan and considerably cuts electricity bills.

Hire an expert service

Winterization isn’t a quick job at the end of the season. It requires professional equipment, removing pool accessories, specific water pH levels, and much physical work. However, a professional pool winterization service can help close the pool and keep it in excellent condition for the next season.
