Aboveground Pool Closing Instructions

Here is how you can close an Aboveground Pool, follow the steps mentioned below:

Balance pH and alkalinity levels within 1 week of pool closing.
Remove floating debris with leaf net. Vacuum pool thoroughly. Backwash and rinse sand filter. The better you leave the pool, the better you will find it. The later in the season the pool is winterized, the less of a chance algae will form, as the water is colder.
Add shock, algaecide, and winterizer into the pool and let circulate for several hours. Winterizer is a clarifier and anti-staining product.
A. If on municipal water, lower water level below skimmer and return. Remove the return eye, but do not put a plug in the return! You do not have to use a device to block the skimmer, but it is recommended.
Gently brush the walls and floor to remove residue/film.
