Jacksonville Pool Closing

Florida might seem like it has year-round heat and sunshine but winter is just as real here as it is anywhere else — maybe just not as cold! At the height of summer when temperatures are high a swimming pool is the hottest ticket in town but this changes going into fall. Pool owners aren’t keen to do the backstroke in the middle of winter but your pools are still up against the elements. Have a local Puddle technician service your swim space with expert Jacksonville pool closing services to keep water systems in great shape all year long. 

Unlike other parts of the country Jacksonville residents aren’t likely to catch sight of snow and ice forming on sidewalks. On average it does’t get much colder than 49 degrees, so there’s no reason for winterizing chemicals, right? Wrong! In Florida the main threat to swimming pools is disuse. When pools aren’t being used they’re at risk of serious contamination and that will quickly lead to damage. Instead of throwing on a pool cover and waiting until spring have Puddle handle the heavy lifting for you! 

When is it a Good Idea to Close Your Pool? 

Closing out a swimming pool is never easy but sometimes it is the right decision for your water system. In an inground pool sitting debris, is enough to stain liners, clog filters, overwork pool pumps and cause lasting and expensive damage to your swim space. The condition of a swimming pool might not seem like a big deal when it’s not in use but no one wants to start the swim season off by pulling back covers and finding a swamp or needing to deal with expensive damage. 

If you know that you are going to be heading off on a long vacation or just won’t be using your pool over the course of the off-season your options for fall pool care include: a full closing or an off-season pool cleaning program.

Pool Closings: The only way to ensure your pool is in good shape when spring comes back around is to break the process down into multiple steps. These steps will include chemical applications, dropping the water level so it falls a few inches below the skimmers, closing off drain plugs flushing return lines, removing debris from skimmer baskets and pool filters and even swapping out mesh pool covers for safety covers. Closing a pool means having to open back up again in spring which is another multi-part process. 

Off-Season Pool Cleaning Programs: For pools that aren’t being used regularly over the fall season closing isn’t your only option. If you want to maintain a usable swim space and don’t want to bother with full closings and openings, just ask about off-season cleaning programs. This type of program drops cleaning frequency down from weekly to bi-weekly. Puddle technicians perform all of the same practices as spring programs including balancing water chemistry to prevent algae and keep water clean, removing debris, checking filters and plumbing lines and scrubbing sides to remove residue. 

Puddle technicians are highly trained and experienced in dealing with swim spaces of all shapes, sizes and styles. Whether you have an above ground pool or an inground model all it takes is one phone call to a local Puddle pro to protect your system from the off-season.
