Protect Your Pool Before Winter Weather Hits

Professional pool closing services in the Tri-State area prepare your equipment and surfaces for freezing temperatures and reduce spring startup problems.

When fall temperatures drop and leaves start piling up around your yard in Chandler, your pool needs more than a tarp thrown over it. Freezing weather in Southern Indiana can crack pipes, damage pumps, and leave you with expensive repairs if water is left sitting in the wrong places. SUN POOLZ provides pool closing services in Chandler that drain lines, shut down equipment properly, and prepare your pool to sit unused through winter without damage.


This service focuses on protecting your filtration system, plumbing, and surfaces from freeze damage. In Chandler, fall brings heavy leaf drop from mature trees in residential neighborhoods, which means timing your closing correctly keeps debris from sinking into your pool and staining the liner over winter. The goal is to shut everything down in a way that makes spring startup faster and prevents costly repairs caused by ice expansion in unprotected lines.


Schedule your pool closing in the Tri-State area, including Warrick, Vanderburgh, Posey, Gibson, and Spencer counties  before the first freeze to avoid emergency calls and last-minute availability issues.

How Your Pool Gets Prepared for Cold Weather

When you schedule a closing in Chandler, the work begins with draining water from your pump, filter, heater, and any exposed plumbing that could freeze. You will see skimmer baskets emptied, drain plugs removed, and valves positioned to prevent water from sitting in places where ice can form and crack components. The process includes blowing out lines with compressed air to remove standing water that gravity alone will not clear.

After the system is drained and secured, your pool will be covered to keep out leaves, branches, and debris that fall throughout late autumn and early winter. Proper closing helps reduce spring startup issues and costly repairs caused by freeze damage or neglect. You will not need to worry about checking equipment or clearing snow off your cover every few weeks once the work is done.

This service does not include cover replacement, liner repair, or equipment storage in a separate location. If your cover shows visible wear or damage, you will be notified so you can decide whether to replace it before winter. The work is designed to protect what you have, not upgrade systems or address existing equipment failures.

Common concerns before scheduling your first closing

Homeowners in the Tri-State area, including Warrick, Vanderburgh, Posey, Gibson, and Spencer counties  often ask about timing, what gets drained, and how much prep they need to do before the service appointment.

When should I close my pool in the Tri-State area?

You should close your pool in late October or early November, before nighttime temperatures consistently drop below freezing. Waiting too long increases the risk of ice forming in lines before the system is drained.
What gets drained during pool closing?
Water is drained from your pump, filter, heater, skimmer lines, and return jets. The pool itself is usually left partially filled to protect the liner and walls from shifting soil or groundwater pressure during winter.
Why is fall leaf drop a concern for pool closing?
Leaves that sink to the bottom of your pool can stain the liner and decompose into organic matter that clouds water in spring. Chandler neighborhoods with oak, maple, and other deciduous trees produce heavy leaf fall that makes timely closing important.
How does closing prevent spring repair costs?
Closing drains water from vulnerable components so ice cannot form and crack pipes, pump housings, or filter tanks. It also keeps debris out, which reduces the amount of cleaning and chemical correction needed when you reopen.
What should I do before the closing appointment?
You do not need to drain or cover anything yourself. Clear access to your equipment area and make sure the gate or yard entry is open so the crew can reach your pool without delay.
