Indiana winters can be tough. Proper winterization is the key to ensuring your pool survives freezing temperatures without damage. Unlike basic closures, winterization involves protecting every component—pipes, pumps, heaters and surfaces—from ice expansion and cold snaps. Pools of Fun’s winterization service gives your pool the extra attention it needs to weather the winter and makes reopening in spring a breeze.
Winterization goes beyond a standard closing. It’s designed to:
Skipping winterization or missing a step can lead to costly repairs and an unpleasant surprise in the spring.
Pools of Fun takes a meticulous approach to winterizing your pool:
This thorough process guards against freezing, burst pipes, corrosion and algae growth during the long Indiana winter.
A standard pool closing focuses on shutting down the pool safely, while winterization goes a step further by addressing the unique challenges posed by freezing temperatures:
Closing typically involves cleaning, balancing chemicals, lowering water, covering the pool and storing equipment.
Winterization includes specialized plumbing and equipment preparations—such as blowing out lines, adding antifreeze and insulating exposed parts—to protect them from ice damage.
In colder climates like Indiana, winterization is often done alongside closing to ensure comprehensive protection.
Your pool equipment is a significant investment, and winter is its toughest test. Our winterization service specifically safeguards:

Yes. Automatic covers protect against debris and evaporation, but they don’t prevent water in lines or equipment from freezing. A complete winterization is still necessary in cold climates.
