Closing your pool is more significant than opening your pool. How much time you were able to spend in opening your pool is dependent on how good you were able to close it. Since in pool closing, you are to preserve your beautiful investment, you have to maintain the good look of it, and sometimes, you add more attractions while it is close, and get it ready again for the next swimming season. Closing your pool properly can give you a hundred percent assurance that you can open up your pool without any hassles.

Below are some of the checklist that you need to consider in closing your pool properly:

1. Make sure that you have all the proper materials needed before you start.
2. Choose the type of winterizing plate that you are going to use for your pool.
3. Drain your pool when needed.
4. Wedge a plug in the return fitting.
5. Disassemble and clean your filter.
6. Store your filter in a dry, warm area.
7. Add winterizing chemicals. Make sure that they are pre-dissolved.
8. Check for the correct pool cover size.
9. Loop cable through eyelets.
10. Inflate and tie-up ice compensator.
11. Fasten cover to pool.
12. Use cover clips or water tubes.

After you were given the checklist, make sure that you have completed all the materials needed such as the following:

1. cover
2. skimmer face plate
3. cable and winch
4. cover clips
5. winterizing chemicals
6. water tubes
7. ice compensator
8. main drain cap
9. air pump
10. return fitting plug

After completing all these things up, you are now ready to balance your pool water. This is a very important step because if it is not properly balanced, it can cause your winter closing chemicals to be less effective. Thus, this can lead to a green pool spring. After the winter has ended, you are now ready to call again your guests for the next summer experience. But before that, make sure to check first your other pool supplies if there are no tears and other damages. If such, you can have it replaced with a good quality one such as the products from intex pools and the like.
