    Even mild Gulfport winters can pose risks to an unprepared pool.

A professional winterization prevents these issues, saving you time, money and hassle in the long run.

    Our comprehensive approach goes beyond simply covering your pool. We meticulously address every component, from the filtration system to the water chemistry. This detailed attention ensures your pool equipment is protected from the elements and internal damage.

    Gulfport Pool Closing: Frequently Asked Questions

    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.

    When should a pool be closed?

    Once the season is over and temperatures are consistently falling, but before the first hard freeze. Closing too early in warm water can encourage algae to establish under the cover, while leaving it too late risks the freeze damage the closing exists to prevent.

    What does a professional closing include?

    Balancing the water and adding winter treatment, lowering the water to the correct level, blowing out and plugging the lines and draining the pump, filter and heater. Accessories are removed and stored and the cover is fitted. The order matters, which is why it is done as one visit.
