Murrieta Pool Closing, Step by Step
It is always a sad day when you have to close your pool for the winter, but preparing for cold weather is the best way to keep your swim space in good working order. It might take a prolonged period of cold to freeze an entire pool, but what about the more vulnerable areas? Calling an expert for your Murrieta pool closing means getting great results, avoiding unexpected damage and setting the stage for a smooth opening in spring.
Caring for swimming pools is a complicated process, particularly during a change of the season. As the weather takes a turn for the chilly, the vulnerable parts of your pool system are left out in the cold, and that means liners, the pool pump, motors and more are all vulnerable to breakage. Instead of risking unnecessary damage, call an expert to prep your pool for the cold season and keep your system running all year long.
Why Should I Choose A Professional Pool Closing Service?
Plenty of property owners attempt amateur pool care throughout the year. While you might be able to skim away floating debris or shock your pool every now and then, closing is a much more complicated process. While your pool water might not completely freeze over in a California winter, that doesn’t meant that small amounts of water can’t freeze and thaw inside your water system.
In order to protect your pool mechanisms from the cold, it is important to drop the water level a few inches below the skimmer. This prevents water from getting into drains, making plastic brittle and causing damage to pool lines, filters, motors and more. Unlike pulling the plug on a sink or bathtub, draining pool water is a complicated process. Without proper planning and execution, pool water can drown lawns, or seep into structures, leading to flooding, water damage and rot.
Caring for pool equipment during cold weather is another key aspect of a proper closing. Winterizing a drain plug is always a great idea, but so is covering your pool. During summer, safety covers are a necessity, but they are often mesh and designed to let light in. During winter, covers should limit the amount of sunlight that can reach pool water. When sunlight reaches your water, it creates a damp, covered environment for bacteria to thrive in. When the weather is warm, maintained chlorine levels reduce the risk of algae growth, but without chemical application, it does not take long for algae blooms to form and take over.
A professional pool service like Puddle provides in-depth closings, designed to keep pools and swim spas in good shape, even in poor weather. Take your long list of to-dos and hand it over to an expert. Our team of highly trained pool specialists arrive on scene ready to blow out the lines of your system, clean skimmer baskets, manage water chemistry and ensure that property owners know the benefits of solid covers.

Murrieta Pool Closing: Frequently Asked Questions
How should I drain my pool in Murrieta?
Riverside County Watershed Protection advises letting pool water stand 3 to 5 days so chlorine reaches zero, confirmed by testing, with pH between 6.5 and 8.5 and water free of dirt, leaves and algae. It also says to avoid copper based algaecides and not to drain salt water pools to land. Murrieta regulates non stormwater discharges under Municipal Code Chapter 8.36, so check local rules before draining.
Do Murrieta pools need winterizing?
Freezes here are light and occasional. Nearby Elsinore averages about 9 nights a year at or below 32 F, mostly in December and January, per NOAA normals. With winter highs of 65 to 67 F, Murrieta has a long warm season, though equipment still benefits from a check before cold nights.
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.
We had a fountain issue at our home, and were referred to Puddle Pools. Jim and the Team were excellent to deal with, very communicative and customer service oriented. They addressed the issues made the repairs necessary and were very helpful. Much appreciated and great work !
Recently my brother died but while he was alive he let his pool turn to sheet. (He was invalid-ish.) I called Brett and despite the extensive repairs that were needed, he was able to restore the pool to it's former glory and his rates, given the needed repairs, were criminally low. But what impressed me most about him was that when I told him my realtor also knew a pool guy, he didn't try and strong arm me into making a decision on the spot or try to hard close. He said he understood that this was a big decision and that if he still needed his service, please just reach out. Now, I don't know what they call that in North Carolina, but in California, we call that a class act and I ended up going with him. I can't imagine ever using anyone else. Thanks, Brett! You and your team did an amazing job!
I had a fantastic experience with puddle pool services! They did an amazing job cleaning my pool—it looks crystal clear and better than it has in a long time. The team was professional, on time, and very knowledgeable. They explained everything they were doing. I really appreciated their attention to detail and friendly attitude. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and top-quality pool service!
