Pool Closing and Winterizing
Texas winters are mostly mild, but the hard freezes that roll through North Texas and occasionally Houston can crack pumps, filters and pipes overnight. If you plan to rest your pool for the cooler months, we balance the water for dormancy, clean everything thoroughly and protect equipment so spring reopening is quick and inexpensive.
Problems we solve
Freeze cracked equipment
Pumps and filters damaged when water freezes inside.
Spring algae surprise
Opening to a swamp after an unprotected winter.
Stained plaster
Leaves sitting all winter and leaving tannin stains.
Wasted winter energy
Pumps running long hours on a pool no one is using.

Frequently asked questions

Many Texas pools stay open year round with reduced service. Closing makes sense if you will not use the pool for months.

Keep water moving, run freeze protection if you have automation and call us before a hard freeze if you are unsure.
Will my pool turn green while closed?
Proper winter chemistry and a good cover greatly reduce the chance of algae.
When should I close?
Usually after water temperature stays below about 65 degrees.
Do you reopen in spring?
Yes. Our pool opening service gets you ready for swim season.
