Melbourne Pool Closing Service

Key Steps in Our Pool Closing Service:

• Water Chemistry Balancing: We adjust pH, alkalinity and calcium hardness to prevent staining and scaling. This crucial step is often overlooked but prevents long-term damage to pool surfaces.
• Thorough Cleaning: We vacuum the pool, brush walls, and skim debris. A clean start is vital for preventing algae growth during the dormant period.
• Equipment Disconnection & Draining: Pumps, filters and heaters are disconnected and drained. This prevents standing water from causing corrosion or attracting pests.
• Blowing Out Lines (Plumbing Protection): Using powerful air compressors, we force all water out of your pool's plumbing lines (skimmers, returns, main drain). This step, often called "blowing out lines," is essential to prevent water from sitting and causing potential issues during cooler spells or when the pool isn't actively circulating.
• Antifreeze Application: For any remaining water in sensitive equipment or lines, we add non-toxic pool-grade antifreeze. This offers an extra layer of "plumbing protection" even in the mild climate, guarding against unexpected temperature drops.
• Skimmer Winterization: We install "gizzmos" or skimmer plugs to protect skimmers from debris and potential stress. These clever devices absorb expansion pressure, protecting your skimmer mouth.
• Safety Cover Installation: If you have a safety cover, we expertly install it. A properly installed safety cover keeps out debris, protects children and pets, and maintains pool cleanliness through careful "off season care."
• Adding Winterizing Chemicals: We apply specialized "winterization" chemicals, including algaecides and stain preventers, to keep your water clear and pristine.
