As summer begins to wind down and fall approaches, it\u2019s time for pool owners to start thinking about one of the most important parts of seasonal pool care: properly closing and winterizing your swimming pool<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At L&J Pools<\/strong>, we professionally close and winterize pools throughout Bethel, CT and surrounding areas<\/strong>. September is one of the best times to get your pool closing scheduled\u2014before appointment times fill up and the leaves really start falling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Is Proper Pool Closing Important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Closing a pool involves much more than simply putting a cover over it. A professional pool closing helps protect your pool, plumbing, and equipment from freezing temperatures and winter weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water left inside pool plumbing can freeze and expand, potentially causing cracked pipes, damaged valves, filters, pumps, heaters, and other expensive problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proper winterization helps reduce the risk of freeze damage and makes reopening your pool in the spring much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t Wait Until the Leaves Start Falling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest reasons to schedule your pool closing early is availability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As temperatures begin dropping, pool closing appointments can fill quickly. Waiting until the last minute may leave you with fewer scheduling options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is another reason not to wait too long: leaves and debris<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the fall leaves begin dropping heavily, keeping your pool clean becomes much more difficult. Leaves can quickly collect in the pool, skimmer baskets, and around the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scheduling your closing at the right time can save you a lot of fall cleanup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Goes Into a Professional Pool Closing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every pool is different, but properly winterizing an inground swimming pool typically involves preparing the pool and equipment for freezing temperatures, winterizing the plumbing lines, removing or protecting seasonal equipment, and installing the winter cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At L&J Pools, our goal is to leave your pool properly prepared for the winter months so you can spend less time worrying about it during the off-season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t Forget Your Winter Safety Cover<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your pool cover is an important part of protecting your pool during the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your existing safety cover is worn, damaged, stretched, or no longer fits properly, this is also a good time to consider replacing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A properly fitted winter safety cover<\/strong> helps keep leaves and debris out of the pool while also providing an important layer of protection around the pool area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re unsure about the condition of your current cover, L&J Pools can help determine whether it’s ready for another winter or whether it’s time to consider a replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Proper Closing Can Make Spring Easier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The condition in which you close your pool can have a major impact on what you find when the cover comes off next spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proper preparation can help reduce debris, protect equipment, and prevent avoidable winter damage. That can mean fewer surprises when it’s finally time to open the pool again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
