With Fall in full swing and Winter quickly approaching, it\u2019s time to start thinking about closing your pool. With the weather constantly cooling down and warming up again, it can be difficult to decide when the pool weather is officially over.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you close your pool too early, it is more susceptible to algae growth and your winterizing chemicals won\u2019t last until Spring. If you wait too long, your pool equipment can get damaged by the freezing temperatures.

Peek Pools is here to provide their insight and what factors to keep in mind when deciding when to close your pool for the year.

Weather conditions<\/strong> To prevent algae growth and allow your winter chemicals to last the full season, you should keep your pool open until it consistently remains below 65\u00ba F. You can keep it open longer than that but it can become costly to close it before. Algae growth isn\u2019t completely stopped until the water hits 40\u00ba so if you can wait that long, it\u2019s recommended. If you have a pool heater, that can help extend the life of your pool past the typical season. However, it\u2019s important to make sure you close your pool before it hits freezing temperatures at night. Leaves<\/strong> The leaves are starting to fall and that creates extra maintenance with your pool. If the weather is cool enough and you aren\u2019t using your pool anymore, think about closing it. It will save you time and effort because you won\u2019t have the daily upkeep of making sure your gutters and pipes are clear.
