Make sure to skim, brush, and vacuum the pool. After the pool is clean, test the water and balance all levels to their desired ranges. Shock the pool one more time with a quick dissolving chlorinating granular (Dichlor) to help sanitize the water. Complete this process a few days before you close your pool. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch4\u003e Lower Water Level \u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e Lower the water level in the pool to around 4-6 inches below the skimmer. Clean your filter to get rid of leftover debris. Take equipment indoors for the winter. For in-ground pools, the lines and plumbing need to be drained, plugged and filled with antifreeze. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for protecting your underground pool lines. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch4\u003e Drain and Plug Lines \u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e Only required for in-ground pools. Close the valves and drain or blow out the lines. Plug the line with a winterizing plug. Fill the line to the skimmer with pool antifreeze. When you open your pool in the spring, you can vacuum the antifreeze or drain into the pool since it is non-toxic. Use a skimmer guard to prevent ice damage. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003ch4\u003e Cover the Pool \u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e The final step in pool closing is to cover your pool. Take your time to install the correct type of cover for your pool. There are different types of covers such as winter covers and safety covers.
