Pool Closing Services in Indiana

Protect Your Pool for the Off‑Season

As temperatures drop and swim season winds down, closing your pool properly is critical to protect it from the harsh Indiana winter. A rushed or incomplete closing can lead to cracked pipes, green water and costly repairs come spring. Trust Pools of Fun’s professional pool closing service to secure your investment, prevent damage and make next year’s opening a breeze.

Why Closing Your Pool Matters

Closing a pool is more than just slapping on a cover. It’s a methodical process that:

 

  • Prevents Freeze Damage: Draining and winterizing plumbing lines keeps expanding ice from splitting pipes and fittings.

  • Protects Surfaces & Equipment: Properly balancing chemicals and adding winterizing agents prevents staining, scaling and etching on vinyl, fiberglass or concrete surfaces.

  • Keeps Water Clean: Removing debris and adding algaecide before covering prevents contaminants and algae growth during the off‑season.

  • Saves Time & Money: With a clean, well‑balanced close, your spring opening takes less time and fewer chemicals, reducing maintenance costs.

  • Extends Equipment Life: Draining pumps, heaters and filters prevents freezing damage and rust, prolonging their performance and lifespan.

Taking the time to close your pool correctly ensures you’ll avoid expensive surprises when it’s time to swim again.

What’s Included in Our Pool Closing Service?

Our closing service covers all the necessary steps to safeguard your pool:

  • Debris Removal & Final Cleaning: Skim leaves and debris, vacuum the pool floor and brush walls to prevent staining.
  • Chemical Balancing & Shock: Test water, add winterizing chemicals and shock the pool to inhibit algae and bacteria.
  • Lowering the Water Level: Reduce water below the skimmer to prevent damage to tiles and freeze expansion.
  • Winterizing Plumbing Lines: Blow out water from return lines, skimmers and plumbing, then add non‑toxic antifreeze if necessary.
  • Drain & Disconnect Equipment: Drain pumps, filters, heaters and chlorinators; disconnect and store hoses and fittings.
  • Remove & Store Accessories: Take out ladders, handrails and toys; store them in a protected area.
  • Cover Installation: Install and secure your winter or safety cover to protect against debris and ensure safety.
  • Inspection & Recommendations: Provide a closing checklist and note any issues to address over the winter or in spring.

Our team works efficiently while ensuring every step is performed meticulously so your pool is protected through the coldest months.

Pre‑Closing Checklist

Help us make your closing go smoothly:

 

  • Clear the Deck: Remove patio furniture, planters and pool toys to give our technicians clear access.

  • Gather Equipment: Collect winterizing plugs, cover tools and accessories; have them ready near the pool.

  • Remove Excess Water & Debris: Skim leaves and pump off standing water if your cover has been on for a while.

  • Check Water Level: Stop filling your pool a day or two before closing so it can settle at the proper level.

  • Note Any Issues: Let us know about any equipment problems, leaks or unusual noises so we can inspect them during the closing.

These simple steps help us complete your closing efficiently and ensure nothing is overlooked.

FAQs About Pool Closings

When should I close my pool?

In Indiana, most pools are closed between late September and October, depending on weather and personal preference. Closing too early wastes swimming time; closing too late risks freezing lines and equipment.

No. Draining an inground pool fully can cause structural issues. We lower the water below the skimmer and returns to protect plumbing while leaving enough water to support the cover.

We balance pH and alkalinity, add a winter algaecide and shock the pool to kill contaminants. These keep the water clear and reduce spring opening costs.

Once closed, the pump and filtration system are disconnected and drained. They remain off until spring reopening.

While DIY closings are possible, missing steps—such as properly blowing out lines—can lead to expensive damage. Professional services provide peace of mind and often save money in the long run.
