POOL SERVICES BY VENUS POOLS
Cooler temperatures are on the way! Is your pool ready for winter? Properly closing your pool for the season is crucial for protecting both the pool and your equipment from freeze damage. It also helps maintain healthy water conditions to control bacteria and algae growth and prevents stains and scaling on pool surfaces during the off-season. Whether you’re planning to handle the closing yourself or just looking to learn more about the process, it’s important to follow the right steps to ensure your pool stays in top shape until warmer weather returns.
