One of the best indicators of quality is warranty. Our non-mesh-solid swimming pool covers come with the best warranty.
First I will describe the process of closing your pool than I will explain each item in our winterizing package, and how to use them.
Above-Ground Pool Closing Instructions
- Skim and vacuum pool and balance chemicals. Do not close a dirty swimming pool.
- Lower water in the pool 1 inch below the return jet, remove jet /eye-ball and install screw in winter plug.
- Carefully remove steps or ladder (entry system). More people create leaks by damaging their liner while taking out entry systems than by doing anything else.
- Remove hoses from pump, and filter and leave attached to pool with valves open where applicable.
- Drain all water from pump and filter. Disassemble and clean Cartridge and D.E filters.
- Add winterizing chemicals. All that is required is a good Algaecide.
- Install air pillow in the center of the pool.
- Install pool cover
- Use a cover pump to keep water from accumulating on the cover, and remove pump before freezing temperatures arrive.

Pool Cover
Getting the best pool cover only cost 30-50 dollars more than buying a cheap one, depending on the size of your pool. And the better pool covers will get you many years of use, especially if you pump rain water off it before the winter freeze comes.
We send you a non-mesh cover that is waterproof to keep out all dirt and water.All winter covers come with a 4-foot overlap, for comfortable and proper fit. Many covers barely reach around the pool and are difficult to secure, not so with this one.
Air Pillow
This air pillow is thicker than most, marketed as heavy duty, and designed for many years of use. It has eyelets for twine. The air pillow should be centered in your pool to create an ice dam.
These things pop and do not always last. I recommend finding a plastic 10-gallon drum or a truck inner-tube for climates with extreme cold.
Winterizing Chemicals
We provide all you need for winterizing chemicals in this winterizing kit. It contains a non-chlorine sanitizer, water stabilizer which helps control ph over the winter, and an algaecide to fight algae growth.
There are two bags of dry powder and a bottle in the kit. You thoroughly mix the first packet of winterizing powder in a large bucket of water and then toss it in the pools. Then do the next bag the same way, and finally do the bottle in a bucket as well. I guarantee your pool will be as clean and crystal-clear as when you put the cover on your above-ground pool.
I start adding these chemicals to pools I close for customers a week or two before their closing appointment
