Pool Closing

The procedures for efficiently closing your Atlanta pool are similar to those for opening it, and may actually require even more careful planning and expertise.

  • Disconnection of all equipment
  • Accessories removal and storage
  • Treatment and winterization of filtration equipment
  • End of season shock treatment
  • Pool cover installation

Closing Pools Safely

The average pool owner may not put much thought into closing a pool once the season is over, yet neglecting to plan properly can translate to pool damage and added expense. Whether you are looking to winterize your pool in the Atlanta area, or simply require a pool closing service at any time of the year, avoid problems and unnecessary stress with solutions from experienced Collins Pool Management experts.

What Happens When a Pool is Not Properly Closed?

In colder climates, the equipment on an inadequately winterized pool can freeze and become irreparably damaged when frozen parts begin to thaw. Extreme temperature fluctuations can ruin a filtration system and piping when not protected. In addition, Collins Pool Management recommends a final water test and chemical balancing for pool water using specific products that are designed to protect pool surfaces and piping when not in use.

Cleaning Your Pool Before Closing

In addition to chemical balancing to limit algae growth and facilitate opening the following year, the sides and bottom of any pool must be thoroughly vacuumed and brushed to remove all debris prior to closing. Skimmer baskets should be cleaned and emptied, and all accessories rinsed before storage. Collins Pool Management technicians provide these and additional optional services for Atlanta pool owners, including filter and tank cleaning and secure installation of any type of pool cover.

Draining the Water Lines

Disassembly of your pool's equipment involves more than just pulling apart the piping. Our technicians drain and then dry all equipment and apply antifreeze treatments when necessary. Our technicians have been trained to safely shutdown any type of pool heater system and are also experienced with the maintenance of salt water systems.
