Serving Luzerne, Monroe, Carbon, Lackawanna, Sullivan, Montour, Columbia, and Wyoming Counties

As summer winds down and the leaves begin to change, it’s the perfect time to start planning your 2025 pool closing. At Skovish Pools & Spas, we understand the importance of protecting your investment through the winter months. With decades of experience serving families across Northeastern Pennsylvania, including Luzerne, Monroe, Carbon, Lackawanna, Sullivan, Montour, Columbia, and Wyoming counties, we’re here to ensure your pool is safely and professionally closed for the season.

Why Book 2025 Pool Closing Services Early?

When you book early, you secure your spot before the fall rush. By scheduling ahead, you avoid the risk of delays or service bottlenecks during peak season. Early closings also give us the chance to spot and address minor repairs before freezing temperatures set in.

Plus, Pennsylvania winters are unpredictable. The sooner we close your pool properly, the better protected it is from freezing temperatures, water expansion, and seasonal debris.

What’s Included in Our Professional 2025 Pool Closing Service?

Closing a pool isn’t as simple as just throwing on a cover and walking away. We use a thorough, step-by-step process to ensure your pool is clean, protected, and prepped for the colder months:

1. Comprehensive Cleaning

We begin by vacuuming and brushing the walls and floor of your pool. Removing dirt, debris, and organic material helps prevent staining and reduces the chances of algae growth during the off-season.

2. Water Chemistry Balancing

We adjust your water’s pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness to ensure optimal chemical balance. Then, we add winterizing chemicals like shock, algaecide, and scale inhibitors to maintain clarity and prevent bacterial growth.

3. Lowering Water Levels

We drain the water to the proper level—typically just below the skimmer line—to prevent freezing and cracking. This protects your pool structure and tile line from costly winter damage.

4. Blowing Out and Plugging the Lines

Our technicians use commercial-grade blowers to remove water from all plumbing lines. Then we plug each line and, when necessary, add antifreeze to prevent any remaining water from freezing.

5. Equipment Winterization

We properly drain and winterize all filtration equipment, pumps, heaters, and saltwater systems. This extends the lifespan of your equipment and ensures a smooth opening in spring.

6. Pool Cover Installation

We install a tight, secure winter cover or safety cover to protect your pool from debris, animals, and sunlight. A properly installed cover also prevents accidents and helps maintain water quality through winter.

Why Hiring Professionals Matters

While DIY pool closing may seem like a way to save money, the risks and potential repairs often outweigh the initial savings. Our licensed technicians are trained to spot early warning signs, execute proper techniques, and use the best tools for the job.

Improper pool closings can lead to:

• Cracked plumbing due to freezing
• Damaged filtration systems
• Poor water quality or algae blooms
• A tough, costly spring opening

By choosing us, you avoid these issues entirely and can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with professional, experienced service.

Common Mistakes We Help You Avoid

Many homeowners unknowingly make costly errors when closing their pools. Here are a few we commonly prevent:

• Leaving water too high in the pool, which can damage skimmers or tile when it freezes
• Skipping chemical treatment, resulting in green water and a difficult spring reopening
• Forgetting to use a pool pillow beneath the cover, which prevents ice expansion damage
• Improper equipment drainage, leading to cracked pumps and filters
• Loose or worn-out pool covers, which allow debris and water to enter throughout winter

We’re here to make sure none of these mistakes happen to your pool.
