Our Step-by-Step Pool Closing Process
Here’s a simplified look at the thorough steps our team undertakes to properly close your Waxahachie pool:
| Step | Description | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Chemical Balancing | Adjusting water chemistry (pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness) to optimal winterization levels. | Prevents staining, algae growth, and corrosion during the off-season. |
| Draining Equipment | Lowering water to proper winter level and draining water from pump, filter and heater. | Crucial for preventing freeze damage to expensive equipment. |
| Blowing Out Lines | Using specialized air blowers to remove all water from underground plumbing lines. | Eliminates water that could freeze, expand and crack pipes; this is air locking the lines. |
| Antifreeze Application | Adding pool-grade antifreeze to exposed plumbing lines and skimmers. | Provides an extra layer of protection against residual water freezing. |
| Accessory Removal | Removing ladders, handrails, skimmer baskets, and return fittings. | Prevents damage to accessories and streamlines cover installation. |
| Safety Cover Installation | Professionally installing your specific pool safety cover (mesh or solid). | Protects against debris, prevents accidental entry, and reduces spring clean-up. |
