At ASP - America's Swimming Pool Company of Utah County, our certified, background-checked technicians document each visit with chemical readings, service notes, and photos delivered to your inbox after we leave.

What a Poor Closing Costs You in Spring

A cover alone doesn’t winterize a pool. Water left in pipes, pumps, or equipment can freeze and expand, cracking components that are expensive to replace. Unbalanced water sitting under a cover through a Utah County winter can develop algae growth, scale, and calcium deposits that turn a routine spring opening into a multi-day project.

When debris is removed, water chemistry is corrected, and equipment is properly drained before sealing the pool, it rests through winter rather than deteriorating. A careful closing can reduce both spring start-up time and the likelihood of finding a problem you weren’t expecting.

What Our Pool Closing Service Includes

Before work begins, we review the closing plan with you so you know what to expect. Our technician arrives on the scheduled day, walks the pool and equipment, and works through a consistent checklist adjusted for your pool’s specific configuration. If you’re not home, we only need safe access to the pool area. Gates are closed securely on departure.

A standard closing visit includes:

• Removing all debris from the pool’s water, filter, and skimmer
• Readjusting the water level for winter conditions
• Testing water and adding chemicals for the winter (like algaecide)
• Draining equipment of excess water to prevent freezing
• Inspecting and installing a winter safety cover

After your visit, you’ll receive an emailed report listing the time on site, services performed, current chemical readings, chemicals added, and a photo of your finished pool. It’s a verifiable record of exactly what was done before winter.

When to Schedule Pool Closing in Orem

The best timing guide is water temperature, not the calendar. Close once water reaches 55 degrees consistently. Closing too warm locks algae-favorable conditions under the cover. Waiting too long risks exposing equipment to hard overnight freezes.

In Utah County, mid-October is the typical closing window. The area’s first frost generally falls between October 11 and October 20, making that a practical outer deadline for Orem homeowners. When daily temperatures are holding in the 60s and nights are dropping sharply, it’s time to schedule.

Fall is a busy season for pool closing services. Our team can talk through your usual pool use and help you find a closing window that can give you every late-season swim while protecting your equipment before temperatures turn. Booking ahead helps you secure an appointment that fits your schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Should I Close My Pool in Orem?

The clearest trigger is water temperature. Close once water reaches 55 degrees, which in Utah County typically aligns with mid-October. The area’s first frost generally falls between October 11 and October 20, making that a practical outer deadline. Our team can walk through your pool use and help you choose a window that works.

Do I Need to Be Home During Pool Closing?

You don’t need to be home as long as we have safe access to the pool area. Our technicians close gates securely on departure, and you’ll receive an emailed report showing the time on site, what was done, chemical readings, and a photo of the finished pool. If you’d prefer to be present, we’re happy to schedule around your availability.

What Does Your Pool Closing Service Include?

A standard visit includes removing all debris from the pool’s water, filter, and skimmer; readjusting the water level; testing water and adding chemicals for the winter (like algaecide); draining equipment of excess water to prevent freezing; and inspecting and installing a winter safety cover. The exact plan is reviewed with you before we begin and adjusted for your pool’s configuration.

Will Professional Closing Make Spring Opening Easier?

A properly closed pool is often in better shape when spring arrives. Balanced water, cleared debris, and prepared equipment can reduce the likelihood of algae growth, staining, or freeze damage finding you in April. We can’t promise every spring will be identical, but many homeowners find that a careful closing can shorten start-up time and cut down on surprises.

What Chlorine Level Should My Pool Have at Closing?

At closing, your pool water should have a chlorine level of 1-3 ppm and a pH of 7.2 to 7.6. Because the filter won’t be running through winter, water chemistry is the primary protection for your pool during the off-season. Our technicians test levels before sealing the pool and adjust as needed.

Should I Shock My Pool Before Closing?

Shocking your pool a few days before closing helps eliminate bacteria and algae before the cover goes on. That said, don’t close immediately after shocking. Chlorine levels need to return to the normal range of 1-3 ppm first. Our team handles this sequencing as part of the closing process so you don’t have to time it yourself.

Why Hire a Professional Instead of Closing It Myself?

Closing a pool means coordinating water chemistry, debris removal, equipment draining, and cover installation. Missing any one step can mean damage or a harder spring opening. Our certified, background-checked technicians bring training, proper equipment, and a post-visit digital report to every closing. Most homeowners find the time savings and the documentation alone are worth it.
