The Villages Pool Closing

It is always a sad day when you have to close a pool down for the season. In Florida, you might be able to extend the swimming season but if you are not willing to swim in the cold or are looking to take a prolonged vacation, closing your system is a great way to protect your pool. Throughout The Villages, pool closing is not only a necessity, it is an art form! Proper pool closing protects your pool from cold weather and paves the way for an easy opening in spring.

As summer fades into fall, pool care is often pushed to the back burner. It is easy to forget a chemical treatment or empty a skimmer basket when your swim space is not being used regularly, but this will have a ripple effect throughout your water system. Instead of throwing on a winter pool cover and hoping for the best, ensure your swim space is in great shape with a bit of help from an expert.

The Benefits of Professional Pool Closing Services

As temperatures begin to drop, it is time to start thinking about closing your pool system. When temperatures reach 59 degrees, the risk of cold snaps and freezing are putting your swimming pool at risk. Calling ahead to close out your pool and spa means preventing unnecessary damage but it also means reducing running costs and helping to make the most out of the swim season when it comes back around.

Treating Equipment: Even though Florida is known for sunshine and warm weather, cold snaps can happen! It takes prolonged exposure to sub-zero temperatures to freeze an entire pool basin but small amounts of water inside lines will freeze easily. If this is the case, plastic will become brittle and water can expand, causing pipes to warp or burst. Winterizing plugs prevents water from seeping into sensitive areas and causing damage. In an above ground pool this can mean installing a water bag, while an in-ground pool should have water levels dropped.

Water Condition: During the spring and summer, pool owners are more likely to monitor sanitizer levels and test water. When pools are used less often, chemical levels can quickly spiral out of control, leading to algae growth, cloudy or discoloured water and a whole lot of contaminants. In outdoor facilities, swimming pools are at even higher risk of contamination.
