As the summer season comes to an end, it’s time to start thinking about closing your pool for winter. Properly winterizing your pool is crucial to protect it from the harsh winter elements and ensure a smooth reopening in the spring. At Total Tech Pools Oakville, we understand the importance of a well-executed pool closing, and we are here to guide you through the process with our comprehensive Pool Closing Checklist.

When to Close Your Pool:
Pool owners typically close their pools from early September until mid-November. Many factors can influence timing, including weather, lifestyle, yard foliage, and pool cover type. With most safety covers, it is best to close as late as possible to avoid having the pool cover on during periods of warm weather. Safety covers are porous and will allow some sunlight to penetrate, which can promote algae growth. I close my pool later in October and open it in April, and it is always crystal clear. With variable-speed pumps and robotic cleaners, it is easy and cost-effective to keep the pool open and is also more aesthetically pleasing. However, when the temperature gets close to freezing, the pool should be closed and, until then, should be kept circulating to prevent any potential freezing damage.

Closing your pool properly involves several essential steps to protect your investment. At Total Tech Pools Oakville, we offer two main pool closing options and other additional services. Learn more about these services and book your closing on our pool closing page.
