Menifee Pool Closing Service

It is easy to appreciate a pool or swim spa during the summer months, but when it is time to close your pool for the winter these systems can feel like more trouble than they are worth. If you are dreading getting your swim space ready for cold weather, unload the heavy lifting and stress by calling an expert to handle it for you! Professional Menifee pool closing services can help to improve water condition, protect equipment and foundations, and boost your curb appeal.

No matter the size or style of your pool system, routine care and maintenance is extremely important. Whether you are splashing in an above ground pool at home or backstroking through a commercial pool area, it is important to consider what is going on just below the surface. Professional pool closing can help to keep your pool in great condition, all year long.

Why Is Proper Pool Cleaning So Important?

There is no question that a prolonged cold snap in the Northern States can lead pools to look more like skating rinks, but how do these effect Californians? Even in a seemingly mild winter, where pool water does not freeze solid, that does not mean that there isn’t freezing going on behind the scenes. Small amounts of water seep into vulnerable areas like pipes and water lines, or around the pool pump and motor.

As water freezes, it expands by up to 9%. This expansion puts pressure on your pipes, which can lead to bursting, flooding and damage. In addition to burst or damaged pipes, freezing temperatures can cause plastics to become brittle. Dropping the water level inside your system to a few inches below the skimmer line can help to prevent water from getting into sensitive areas. Taking the additional step to blow out the lines of your pool can help to remove any sitting water, for the best results possible. From here, detachable pieces can be removed, dried and stored to avoid damage.

When it is being used regularly, the water chemistry of a swimming pool is extremely important but over the course of a slow season, you might not give it much thought. Over the course of the winter, your pool goes through a lot, so applying chemicals and algaecides before closing can help to reduce the risk of severe water contamination. Failing to skim debris from pool surfaces can lead to clogs inside mechanisms, putting added strain on your circulation system. When inner components are forced to work harder, they wear down faster, leading to the need for premature repairs and replacements.

Spring temperatures provide a much needed break from the cold, but it also means that it is time to open your pool for the season. You might want to throw back winter covers and hop on in, but there is a lot of work that has to be done before this happens. A proper pool closing service makes openings quick, simple and effective so you can make the most out of the swimming season. Everything from switching out mesh covers for solid covers can make a world of difference, so trust an expert who understands the ins and outs of your water system.
