Why the first fall freeze sets the deadline
NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals at Philadelphia International Airport put the average first fall freeze at November 8, based on a 138 year record. Water left standing in the pump, filter, heater and buried lines can freeze and crack them once temperatures drop below that mark, so closing is scheduled to be finished well ahead of it rather than right up against it. Once a hard freeze does arrive, a line or fitting that was not drained in time cannot be fixed until spring, so the margin before November 8 is worth protecting.
What a closing visit does
The water is balanced for winter first, then the level is lowered below the skimmer. Lines are blown out and plugged so no standing water is left inside them, the pump, filter and heater are drained and protected and the cover is fitted over the pool for the winter months. Baskets and the deck around the pool are cleared as well, so nothing is left to decompose in the water under the cover.
A season that runs longer than people expect
The gap between the April 5 median last spring freeze and the November 8 average first fall freeze gives the region roughly a seven month window of pool use, which means closing often gets pushed later into the calendar than owners plan for while the weather is still warm enough to swim. Scheduling the closing visit ahead of that November date, rather than waiting for the first cold snap, is what keeps the equipment out of the way of an unexpected early freeze. Towns on the Delaware River, such as Trenton and Hamilton Township, see the same freeze pattern as the rest of the service area, so the same closing window applies there as well.
A record before winter
Closing is handled by CPO certified, uniformed technicians, and the visit ends with an E-Report showing the final water readings and before and after photos, so you have a record of exactly how the pool was left for the winter and something to check back against when the pool is opened again in spring.
Bucks County Pool Closing: Frequently Asked Questions
Which Bucks County neighborhoods do you cover?
We look after pools across Bucks County, including Newtown, Yardley, Langhorne, Doylestown, Levittown and Warminster. The full list of areas is on our Bucks County page. If you do not see yours, get in touch and we will confirm.
What is a plumbing blow out?
It uses high volume air to clear water out of the underground lines, so there is nothing left in them to freeze and crack the pipes over winter.
Do you use antifreeze in the lines?
Yes, where it is needed. After the blow out, winter plugs go in and non toxic antifreeze is added to critical lines as extra protection against freezing.
How do I know the pool was closed properly?
You get an E-Report confirmation with time stamped photos of the lines being winterized and the cover being secured.
Why does a pool need closing rather than just covering?
Because the damage winter causes is done by water left in the plumbing and equipment, not by the pool being uncovered. Water expands as it freezes, which is what cracks pipes, pumps, filters and heaters. Closing is mainly about getting water out of the places it should not be and leaving the remaining water treated.
