The Villages Pool Closing, Step by Step
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.
Seasonal Pool Maintenance: Expert Fall Pool Care
Whether you are dealing with a family pool or swim spaces in a recreation center, our team of Puddle Pros offer in-depth closings that protect pools from the cold and lay the foundation for a more efficient opening. Opting for a DIY approach means subpar results and a longer process, meaning wasting warm days or risking the health and safety of swimmers.
Enlisting professional pool services to close down or open your pool means being quick and efficient, without sacrificing results. Each member of the Puddle team is highly trained and experienced, as well as fully insured to protect properties and surrounding areas.
The Villages Pool Closing: Frequently Asked Questions
Do pools in The Villages need freeze protection?
Occasionally. NOAA normals show 2.3 nights a year at or below 32 F at Leesburg. Nearby inland stations record more, with Bushnell averaging 8.1 and Ocala 8.2. On those nights pool equipment and exposed plumbing may need protection.
Which The Villages neighborhoods do you cover?
We look after pools across The Villages, including Spanish Springs, Lake Sumter Landing, Brownwood Paddock Square, Village of Fenney, Lady Lake and Fruitland Park. The full list of areas is on our The Villages page. If you do not see yours, get in touch and we will confirm.
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.

Puddle pools has been servicing our pool for several years. Rick has always been very responsive and our tech, Jacob, is fantastic. I have recommended him to all our friends with pools.
I just want to share the amazing support I have received from Puddle Pools. Let's start with Anne Marie...I was having pump issues and the pump needed to be replaced. While we waited for the part, Anne Marie took care of the pool and made sure it remained clean despite the pump not working. Then the pump was replaced and it went great but Puddle Pools was receiving a warning light, so they came out proactively to repair it. Well, Brayden spent a good two hours working the issue and would not stop until it was resolved. Then I was having problems with the lights and they needed to be programmed. He again troubleshooted it and now they are fine. Lastly Rick and Sheila, I can't thank them enough for their proactive approach. When I got the email on how to properly handle the cold weather. I was like WOW that was so helpful!! Thank you Puddle Pools you guys are amazing!!!
We couldn't be happier with the services provided by Puddle Pool Services and in particular Jacob P! He does a great job, always pleasant and friendly! Thank you!
