Philadelphia Pool Closing, Step by Step
Closing your pool for the year is more than just throwing on a cover. In Philadelphia, the winter weather can be quite harsh. If you don't prepare your pool correctly, the freezing temperatures can cause expensive damage to your equipment and pipes. That is why most homeowners trust Puddle Pool Services to handle the heavy lifting. We make sure your backyard oasis stays safe until the warm weather returns.
Professional Winterization for Your Peace of Mind
The process of winterization is the most important step in protecting your investment. It involves a series of technical tasks that keep your water chemistry balanced and your hardware dry. Our team at Puddle Pool Services starts by cleaning out debris and adjusting the chemical levels. This prevents algae from growing while the pool is sitting idle. By choosing our professional team, you avoid the common mistakes that lead to cracked tiles or stained liners. We understand the local climate and know exactly what your pool needs to survive a Pennsylvania winter. It is our goal to make the reopening process next spring as easy as possible for you.
Protecting Your Pipes and Equipment
One of the biggest risks during a freeze is water left inside your plumbing. When water turns to ice, it expands and can burst your pipes. To prevent this, Puddle Pool Services focus on blowing out lines using high-powered air compressors. This ensures that every drop of moisture is removed from the underground plumbing. Once the lines are clear, we focus on plumbing protection by using specialized plugs and seals. We also add antifreeze to the lines as an extra layer of security. This non-toxic solution ensures that even if a little moisture remains, it won't freeze and cause a break. Taking these steps now saves you from a massive repair bill and a delayed start to your summer next year.
Safety Cover Installation and Debris Control
After the mechanical systems are secure, we turn our attention to the surface. Proper safety cover installation is vital for two reasons. First, it keeps leaves, dirt, and animals out of your water. Second, and more importantly, it prevents children or pets from accidentally falling into the pool during the colder months. Puddle Pool Services ensures the cover is tight and all anchors are securely fastened into your deck. A saggy cover can collect heavy snow and ice, which might damage the pool walls. We double-check every attachment point so you can rest easy knowing your backyard is secure. We pride ourselves on leaving your property looking neat and organized.
Consistent Off-Season Care
Even after the pool is closed, it still needs a little bit of attention. High-quality off-season care involves checking on the cover after major storms and ensuring the water level hasn't shifted too much. While the pump isn't running, the structure of the pool still needs to be monitored. At Puddle Pool Services, we are always available to answer questions throughout the winter. We want to be your long-term partner in pool maintenance. Our reputation in Philadelphia is built on being reliable, honest, and very thorough. When you work with us, you are getting the best service in the city.

Philadelphia Pool Closing: Frequently Asked Questions
When should I close my pool in Philadelphia?
According to NOAA 1991 to 2020 normals at Philadelphia International Airport, the median first fall freeze is November 10. Winterizing lines, equipment and outdoor water features before freezing nights arrive keeps trapped water from freezing inside them. Hot tubs kept running through winter need their own cold weather checks.
Can I drain my pool into a storm drain in Philadelphia?
The Philadelphia Water Department says only rain should go into a storm drain because storm drains lead to rivers and streams. Parts of the city have combined sewers where stormwater and wastewater share pipes. Check with PWD before draining a pool or backwashing so the water goes where the City allows.
Which Philadelphia neighborhoods do you cover?
We look after pools across Philadelphia, including Wayne, Lower Merion, Haverford, Main Line, King of Prussia and Norristown. The full list of areas is on our Philadelphia page. If you do not see yours, get in touch and we will confirm.
Does a safety cover need anything over winter?
It is worth clearing heavy accumulations of leaves, snow or standing water where you can do so safely from the edge, since sustained weight shortens a cover's life and stresses its anchors. Never walk on a cover to do it. If something looks wrong, it is better checked than guessed at.
What is a plumbing blow out?
It uses high volume air to clear water out of the underground lines, so there is nothing left in them to freeze and crack the pipes over winter.
Puddle Pools has been a pleasure to work with. Dennis is super responsive and I can count them taking my schedule into consideration before scheduling service. Unfortunately, I purchased a problematic hot tub on Marketplace (unknowingly) and Puddle Pools has been a huge support all along the way. Very reassuring to know that I can always call them and get the help and service I need, and they always make sure I'm a satisfied customer. I am unsure of pricing, as I have never had a hot tub before, but Puddle Pools has worked within my budget and figured out a system/schedule that works for me. A 5-star rating for sure!
We have a complicated in ground pool/spa. The original cover was allowing a lot of debris to enter the pool during the off season. Our old pool company was terribly unreliable, so I was looking for a new company when I finally came across Puddle Pool Services. From the first phone call to the most recent service I knew we were in good hands. The owner (Dennis), personally came out several times himself not only to assess our needs, but to dig in himself to get the job done (thanks, Dennis!). The entire staff at Puddle is very friendly and can-do. They are dedicated to getting the job done correctly, and do not cut corners. I’m happy to say that after what seemed like a nightmare scenario—a dark green swamp of a in-ground pool— just a few weeks ago has turned into beautiful sparkling pool. I highly recommend Puddle Pool Services. Bottom line is they will get the job done in a professional and courteous way. What more can you ask?
Had a great experience with Puddle Pool. Dennis and his team are professional, reliable and on time. This was our first time with the Puddle Pool team and frankly they are a great find. Will be working with them moving forward.
Absolutely fantastic experience! The team was professional, reliable, and delivered exactly what they promised. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and the quality of their work exceeded my expectations. Our pool looks amazing, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a stress-free experience and outstanding results!
Marc was very professional and did a great job.
I needed service with my above ground pool. I had my skimmer fixed and the hoses and pump set up. So happy with the service Marc did. Thank you, Michele

I just wanted to give a review. I had Pete from Puddle Pool. Come to my house to inspect a issue that I had over the winter that occurred with my built-in pool and I just wanted to let everybody know how professional knowledgeable and helpful they were. Hopefully all will work out, and they will be back to take care of it. They came even though they’re two hours away from me and I would not hesitate recommending Pete and his team for any service or any questions that come up regarding your Pools wonderful service thank you so much Pete you were great.
I was SO glad to find Puddle Pools. My home has a single-body jetted tub, and when the motor broke, we wanted to fix w/ upgrade of an in-line heater. After both regular plumbers and other tub/pool specialists refused to touch my "indoor/in-between" tub, I found my solution in Puddle Pools. Manager Dennis was helpful for intake and setup, and all remote correspondence was prompt, informative, and professional. The technicians sent were top-notch. Pete did a great job spec'ing out the job, making sure we got only/exactly the right parts, and was tenacious to find a creative solution in the limited space and piping we had to work with. Mark, who joined for the later visits, assured all fittings were secure and leaks treated. Both Pete and Mark were consistently prompt, patient, professional, and rightfully PROUD of their work. I strongly recommend Puddle Pool Services for any standard or creative jobs for indoor or outdoor pools, spas, hot-tubs, or more. May their business prosper. Hail Pulddle !
Puddle Pool Services did an excellent job from start to finish. I dealt with Peter and he was responsive, punctual, and knowledgable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable pool service.
Great pricing and great crew! Can’t get a reliable local pool opening in Puddle’s price range! Thank you!
We have had a wonderful experience with Puddle Pools for our pool opening, closing, and general maintenance. From the very first visit, their team has been professional, reliable, and incredibly thorough. Openings are seamless, they arrive on time, explain everything clearly, and make sure the pool is clean, balanced, and ready to enjoy. Closings are just as smooth and give us complete peace of mind heading into the winter months. Having Puddle Pools handle everything has made pool ownership so much less stressful. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and friendly pool company!
