What Happens When a Pool Isn’t Closed Properly

New Jersey winters are hard on pools. Freezing temperatures cause water trapped inside pipes, pumps, and filters to expand, and that expansion can crack equipment that was working perfectly in September. A single hard freeze on an unwinterized pool can lead to hundreds of dollars in repairs before you even fill it for summer.

Water chemistry is the other risk. When filtration stops for the season, chemical balance carries almost all the responsibility for keeping your water clean. Leaves and organic debris left behind feed algae, and imbalanced pH or alkalinity can cause staining, scaling, or corrosion over months of sitting still. A pool that wasn’t closed correctly often greets its owners in spring with green water, equipment problems, and a more involved opening process.

When to Close Your Pool in Mount Laurel

Timing matters. We recommend closing your pool once water temperature drops to 55 degrees, or when leaves begin falling heavily. Burlington County transitions from warm, humid summers to cool fall weather quickly, and that window between “too warm” and “first frost” is narrower than it seems.

Closing too early, while water is still warm, can encourage algae growth under the cover during mild fall days. Waiting too long risks a freeze damaging plumbing or equipment before they’re drained. Fall closing appointments fill quickly across South Jersey, so scheduling in advance is a practical way to help protect your pool before temperatures drop.

What Our Pool Closing Process Includes

We offer customizable pool closing plans built around what your pool needs. Our team arrives with all the necessary tools and chemicals, so you don’t have to coordinate multiple supply runs or wonder whether a step was missed.

A complete pool closing from our team can include:

• Readjusting the water level
• Testing water and adding chemicals for the winter (like algicide)
• Draining equipment of excess water to prevent freezing
• Inspecting and installing a winter cover

We handle the full closing or focus on the harder tasks, depending on what works best for you.

Pool Closing Questions, Answered

Here are answers to the questions we hear most often from Mount Laurel homeowners preparing to close for the season.

What Should Chlorine Levels Be When Closing a Pool?

Pool water at closing should have a chlorine level of 1-3 ppm and a pH of 7.2 to 7.6. Because filtration won’t be running through the off-season, water chemistry carries nearly all the responsibility for keeping the water clean until spring.

Should I Shock the Pool Before Closing?

Yes. Shocking the pool a few days before closing helps eliminate bacteria and germs. After shocking, wait for chlorine levels to return to the normal range before closing. Don’t shock and immediately cover the pool.

Does the Pool Need to Be Cleaned Before Closing?

It does. Any debris left in the water, whether organic or not, can promote algae growth over the off-season and make the spring opening significantly harder. Removing debris before closing is one of the most important steps in the process.

Should I Close My Pool on My Own?

It’s possible to close a pool independently, but every step needs to be done correctly to help protect your equipment and water quality. Hiring trained professionals removes that uncertainty and can help support a smoother opening when the weather turns warm again.
