Puddle Pool's ArcticGuard™ Winterization Protocol

Our unique ArcticGuard™ protocol is designed specifically for the Venice climate, offering comprehensive protection. We don't just "close" your pool; we perform a complete winterization that safeguards every component, ensuring optimal plumbing protection.

• Water Chemistry Balancing: We adjust pH, alkalinity and calcium hardness to prevent staining and scaling during the off-season. This crucial step maintains water quality even when the pool is not in use.
• Thorough Cleaning: Our team performs extensive skimming, vacuuming and brushing to remove all debris. This prevents organic matter breakdown, which can lead to algae growth and unpleasant odors.
• Blowing Out Lines: Using specialized air compressors, we force all water out of your plumbing lines. This includes skimmers, returns, main drain, and vacuum lines, preventing residual water from freezing and cracking pipes.
• Antifreeze Application: Non-toxic, pool-grade antifreeze is added to strategic lines, especially those around pumps and filters. This provides an extra layer of protection against any residual water that might remain after blowing out lines.
• Equipment Disconnection & Storage: Pumps, filters, heaters and other equipment are properly disconnected, drained and prepared for the off-season. Some components may be stored if applicable, extending their lifespan.
• Skimmer & Return Line Plugs: We install specialized plugs, such as Gizzmos for skimmers, to seal off these lines from the pool. This prevents water from re-entering and ensures effective winterization.
• Safety Cover Installation: If you have a safety cover, our technicians will expertly install it, ensuring a taut and secure fit. This keeps debris out and provides a safer environment around your pool.
• Final Inspection: A comprehensive check of all steps is performed to guarantee complete winterization. We ensure everything is correctly executed before considering the job complete.

Beyond Closing: Off-Season Pool Care Tips

Even after a professional pool closing, a little off-season care can go a long way. While our service handles the critical winterization steps, consider these general tips for maintaining your pool area until reopening time:

• Regular Cover Checks: Periodically check your pool cover for debris accumulation or proper tension, especially after strong winds. Keeping the cover clear helps prevent sagging and potential damage.
• Equipment Monitoring: Even if disconnected, ensure external equipment (like pumps or filters not stored) remains covered and protected from direct weather elements. This prolongs the life of your valuable pool machinery.
• Surrounding Area Maintenance: Keep the area around your pool tidy. Clear leaves and branches regularly to prevent them from landing on the pool cover.
