The Difference Between Closing and Winterizing

Most people think pool closing means draining water and putting on a cover. That’s not winterization – that’s how you destroy a pool.

Real winterization is systematic. We balance your water chemistry to prevent corrosion and staining. We blow out every line in your plumbing system to prevent freeze damage. We properly shut down filtration equipment to prevent motor damage from power surges.

The difference shows up in spring. Properly winterized pools open clean, with working equipment and no expensive surprises. Pools that were just “closed” often need hundreds or thousands in repairs before they’re swimmable again.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I schedule my pool closing in Long Island?

The best time for pool closing in Nassau and Suffolk County is typically mid to late October, when nighttime temperatures consistently drop below 50 degrees. You don’t want to close too early and waste swimming time, but you also can’t wait until the first freeze. Once temperatures hit freezing, any water left in your plumbing lines can cause expensive damage overnight. We recommend scheduling your closing by early October to ensure availability, since this is our busiest time. If you have a pool heater, you might be able to extend the season slightly, but most Long Island pools should be winterized by Halloween to be safe.

What happens if my pool isn't properly winterized before freezing weather?

Freeze damage happens fast and gets expensive quickly. Water expands when it freezes, so any water left in your plumbing lines, pump, filter, or heater can crack pipes, destroy equipment, and damage your pool structure. We’ve seen single freeze events cause thousands in damage – cracked pump housings, burst plumbing lines, damaged pool surfaces, and destroyed filtration equipment. Even worse, this damage often isn’t visible until spring when you try to open your pool. Insurance typically doesn’t cover freeze damage from improper winterization, so you’re looking at major out-of-pocket repairs. Proper winterization costs a fraction of what freeze damage repairs will run you.

Do you winterize both inground and above ground pools?

Yes, we handle complete winterization for both inground and above ground pools throughout Nassau and Suffolk County. The process is different for each type, but both need professional winterization to prevent damage. Inground pools require more complex plumbing blow-outs and equipment winterization, while above ground pools need careful attention to skimmer winterization and proper cover installation. Above ground pools are actually more vulnerable to freeze damage in some ways, since their plumbing and equipment are often more exposed to cold temperatures. Regardless of your pool type, we have the right equipment and experience to winterize it properly for Long Island’s harsh winters.

What chemicals do you add during pool closing?

We use a specific winterization chemical program designed for Long Island’s winter conditions. This typically includes shock treatment to eliminate bacteria and organic matter, algaecide to prevent algae growth during the closed season, and stain prevention chemicals to protect your pool surfaces. We also balance your pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness to prevent corrosion and scaling over the winter months. The exact chemical program depends on your current water condition, pool size, and surface type. We test your water on-site and adjust the chemical treatment accordingly. Using the right chemicals in the right amounts is crucial – too little and you’ll have algae and staining problems, too much and you can damage your pool surfaces.

How long does the pool closing process take?

A complete professional pool closing typically takes 2-4 hours, depending on your pool size, equipment complexity, and current condition. Simple above ground pools might be done in 2 hours, while large inground pools with extensive equipment, water features, or automation systems can take 4 hours or more. We don’t rush the process because every step matters for proper winterization. This includes time for chemical balancing, thorough cleaning, complete equipment shutdown, plumbing blow-out with compressed air, water level adjustment, and proper cover installation. If we find any equipment issues or maintenance needs during the closing, that can add time but it’s better to address problems now than deal with expensive damage in spring.

Can I partially winterize my pool myself to save money?

We don’t recommend partial DIY winterization because pool closing is a system – every step depends on the others being done correctly. The most expensive mistakes happen when homeowners try to save money by doing part of the winterization themselves. For example, improper chemical balancing can cause staining and surface damage that costs thousands to repair. Incomplete plumbing blow-out can result in freeze damage that destroys your entire circulation system. Even small mistakes like incorrect water level or improper cover installation can cause major problems. Professional winterization costs a few hundred dollars, while fixing winterization mistakes often costs thousands. The specialized equipment alone – like commercial air compressors for proper line blow-out – costs more than most homeowners want to invest for once-a-year use.
