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.

*Customer is responsible for lowering of pool water PRIOR TO CLOSING on ALL LOOP LOC COVERS ONLY. Water level should be lowered 12 to 18 inches from top of skimmer face plate. Winterizing heater is additional $40 not included with winterizing pool.
