Our Services

Closing your pool in Ellington, Connecticut takes more than just tossing a cover on it. With winter temperatures that can drop below freezing, a proper close protects the shell from cracks and prevents costly freeze damage. First, we balance the water chemistry, lowering alkalinity and adding winterizing agents so the water won’t turn to ice. Next, we vacuum out leaves, dirt, and any debris that could damage the filter or pool surface during the cold months. Then we install a sturdy, snug cover that keeps out wind, rain, and falling leaves while holding the water level steady. Finally, we secure all fittings, check the pump and skimmer for leaks, and make sure everything is sealed tight so you can sleep easy until spring.

We shut down your pool before the cold hits. Our crew drains water to the proper level and adds antifreeze where needed. We balance chemicals so the water stays stable through winter. All debris is vacuumed out to keep the liner clean. We secure a sturdy cover to lock out snow and leaves.

Prep that matters

We start by skimming and brushing the walls to get rid of leaves. Next we test and adjust pH, alkalinity, and chlorine levels. Then we lower the water to the recommended winter level.

After the job we leave a checklist for you to follow through the season. We note the cover's condition and any loose straps. We advise when to check the water line for ice buildup.
