Pool Closing in The Midwest
When Should I Close My Pool?
For most Midwest pools, the best time to close is when swimming season is winding down and temperatures are trending cooler. Closing too early can increase the chance of algae issues; closing too late can risk freezing conditions. If you’re unsure, schedule early and we’ll help you pick the right window.
How to Prepare for Your Closing Appointment
To keep your closing appointment quick and smooth:
- Clear large debris from the pool (skim/bag leaves if possible)
- Make sure the technician can access the equipment pad and valves
- If you have a cover, have it accessible (and any hardware, if applicable)
- Bring up any equipment concerns ahead of time (noise, leaks, low flow, etc.)
Pool Closing FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a standard and underwater pool closing?
With a standard closing, the customer drains water below the return jets before the scheduled date. With an underwater closing, no draining is necessary and the water stays at normal running level.
Can I add an enzyme treatment or filter acid wash?
Yes—both options are available as add-ons when scheduling.
When is the best time to close my pool?
Generally, close when temperatures are consistently below about 65°F to reduce algae risk and make spring opening easier.
What’s included in a professional pool closing?
Pool closings typically include algaecide treatment, winterizing equipment, blowing out and plugging lines, and cover installation if needed.
What should I do before the technician arrives?
Secure access to the pool area, remove accessories, and if you chose a standard closing, drain below the return jets before the scheduled date.
Do you install winter covers?
Yes—cover installation is available, including mesh and water bag/tarp or radiant cover options.
