Why Commercial Pool Winterization Matters

Properly closing a commercial pool at the end of the season is essential to extend the life of your pool equipment. Larger equipment needs more careful attention to ensure it’s able to withstand the cold, and that’s what our team at Swim Pros provides. Improper pool winterization can cause cracked pipes and damaged equipment, which means expensive repairs and delayed operations. Our professional commercial pool closing services help prevent equipment malfunctions and plumbing damage that can result from cold weather and long periods of inactivity.

Plumbing Systems

Standing water in pool equipment is one of the most common causes of damage to pool plumbing systems. When that water freezes, it expands, causing damage to pipes, seals, fittings, and other internal components. We drain all water from the circulation lines, filters, and other equipment so that your system is protected.

Mechanical Equipment

Your mechanical equipment is also at risk if water is left inside to freeze during the winter. We’ll drain, clean, and lubricate all of your mechanical equipment so you can avoid corrosion and extend the life of your system.

Water Management

A common misconception is that you need to completely drain your pool for the winter – this can actually cause significant damage! A complete drain allows groundwater to put pressure on the outside of the pool shell and can cause the entire pool structure to pop out of the ground.  A partial drain will ensure that hydrostatic balance is maintained and your pool’s interior and surface are protected. If you have a vinyl-lined pool, completely draining it will cause wrinkling (an expensive repair). Our pool technicians will ensure the right level of drainage and proper water balance to prevent algae growth, freezing, scaling, and corrosion. 

Safety Equipment & Surface Prep

We’ll inspect all of your safety equipment, including drain covers, ladders, rails, etc., to reduce wear and damage while your pool is closed.
