Our Services

Closing your pool right now saves you headaches later, especially here in River Forest where winter can bite hard. A proper close stops water from freezing and cracking the shell, keeping your investment safe. We’ll balance the chemicals so you don’t wake up to algae or corrosive water when spring rolls around. All leaves, twigs and debris get cleared out, so nothing jams the pump or damages the filter. Then we fit a tight cover, securing it with straps to block wind and keep out critters. This full service means you can relax knowing your pool is ready for the cold.

Finally, set a timer to run the pump briefly once a week to keep water moving.
