Why Winterizing Your Pool is Crucial for Its Longevity
Winters are coming! Are you ready with your preparations? Winterizing an above-ground pool is the smartest thing to ensure the smooth opening of the pool during the next swimming season.
There’s this widely spread misconception that winterizing pool service is a mere waste of money. Contrary to mainstream belief, winterizing pool service is necessary, especially if the temperature is below 32 Degrees Fahrenheit in NY.
Hiring a winterizing pool service company is the wisest thing to do in the bone-chilling winters. Winterizing pool services during pool closing is necessary for the below-listed reasons:
Under ground Lines: Hair line cracks and line splits can happen to your underground lines if winterizing is not performed. When water freezes it expands up to 9% of original volume.
Increased Possibility Of Tile Cracks: Surface cracks on tile are bound to happen if one overlooks winterizing an GUNITE pool, and lowering the water level.
Heat Pump & Heater Damage: These damages are most likely to happen to the heat exchanger if winterizing pool service is ignored.
At Empire Pools Inc, we have a team of experts to ensure the utmost safety of commercial & residential pools during the pool closing and opening.
Our Pool Winterization Process
At Empire Pools Inc, we take pride in providing top-quality swimming pool winterization by following these six essential steps:
1) Treating Pool Water
Our team starts with treating the pool, which includes testing the pH, chlorine, alkalinity, and calcium hardness levels. As per the results, we mix chemicals in the water before the pool closing.
2) Remove Pool Accessories
After treating the water, we remove all skimmers baskets, heater plugs, wall fittings, vacuum cleaners and all filter equipment etc. and they all are thoroughly drained.
3) Lowering The Water Level
After pool accessories & equipment removal, our professionals reduce the water level in the pool by using a submersible pump or filtration pump. (Extra fees apply)
4) Blowing Out Filters, Heaters, All Lines And Chlorinating Equipment
Our team blows out and inspects all equipment to assure they remain protected until next spring.
5) Storing Of All Equipment
We will store away for you all your equipment in your garage or shed for the winter.
