Pool closings
When using Sweeney’s Pool Service, Inc. you can rest assured that a licensed professional will be servicing your pool. This is so important because it verifies that our technicians are trained the correct way and can handle any situation that comes up. Some pool closings are very basic (one pump, one filter), however many pools consist of multiple pumps, filters, heaters, waterfalls, salt water systems, laminar effects, sheer descents, slides, UV systems, automated systems, etc.
We understand the value of your equipment and know how to properly handle it. Proper winterization of your swimming pool is crucial considering the long winter months are harsh and can cause expensive damage. This is why we use commercial blowers to blow out the plumbing lines to ensure your investment is protected. Our work vehicles are equipped with state of the art equipment so that each job can be handled correctly.
All handrails, diving boards, & ladders are taken out and stored in shed or garage (customer’s preference).
Filter site is taken apart, pumps are drained, filters are drained and cleaned, any accessories (salt system, chlorinators, & electrical components) are disconnected and stored away. Heaters are properly winterized and drain plugs are pulled to ensure the last bit of water is drained.
All plumbing lines are blown out with a commercial machine.
All pool orifices are plugged once the plumbing lines are blown out. Skimmers get gizmos (winterization devices) to prevent any cracking of the housing.
Liquid chlorine & a winterizing algaecide is added prior to cover installation to prevent excessive algae growth.
Cover is properly secured over the pool (Loop Loc safety covers are attached to anchors & checked for proper tension, tarp covers are secured with water bags around the entire perimeter of the pool and checked for leaks once filled with water)
Once job is completed, the lead mechanic will leave a fully detailed invoice with the customer & answer any questions.
Our Pool Closings include
Optional Pool Closings Add-Ons include:
-
Cleaning of the pool performed 24-48 hours prior to the closing, when pool is running and water is clear. The tech will backwash/clean filter when first arriving and make sure pump is unplugged if the water level is to low to run the system when you're done.
This service effectively removes dirt, debris, and algae from the pool floor that regular cleaning may miss. By eliminating contaminants before winter, you reduce the risk of stains and buildup that can occur during the off-season. -
We rinse the filters during the closing, but this is a deep chemical cleaning of the filter. This will remove grease, oil, skin cells, and pollen from pool filters, that normal cleanings would not. This leads to clearer water and helps to extend the life of the filter.
-
Our Winter Watch add-on includes draining excess water from the pool and the top of the cover, removing debris from the cover, adjusting cover straps, and adding liquid chlorine and winterizing algaecide to sanitize the water.
This program safeguards your pool against algae growth and helps prevent potential damage to your pool and cover caused by freezing winter conditions. By properly maintaining your pool during the winter months, you can expect it to open clearer and in better condition come spring!
-
A chemical salt cell cleaning removes scale, mineral buildup, and impurities from the salt cell plates. Incorporating a chemical cleaning into your pool closing routine is a simple yet effective way to ensure your salt cell’s longevity and efficiency. This is a required maintenance for the salt cell to maintain your warranty.
