Why Winterization Matters in Alabama
Even though Auburn winters are mild compared to much of the country, we still get hard freezes, and that’s all it takes to crack a pipe or damage a pump that still has water sitting in it. Closing your pool properly means blowing every line clear of water and draining equipment completely, so a surprise cold snap in January doesn’t turn into a spring repair bill.
Keeping the Water Clean Over Winter
An unbalanced, untreated pool left sitting for months will almost always turn green by spring. We treat the water with a winterizing chemical package designed to prevent algae growth and mineral scale buildup while the pool sits dormant, which makes your spring pool opening faster, cheaper, and a lot less unpleasant.
When to Close Your Pool
Most Auburn and Opelika homeowners close their pools in October or early November, before the first hard freeze is likely. Closing too early means missing out on warm fall swim days; closing too late risks freeze damage. We can help you time it right based on the forecast and your own swim schedule.
