It is sad to see the summer go. But with all the autumn chores you have on your plate, why not sit back, relax and let our experienced service team take your pool closing off your to-do list?

Things to Consider:

The pool needs to be clean and clear of debris in order to close it. We are not responsible for the condition of the pool at closing, or for any wrinkles, staining and hard to clear pools at opening time if the pool is not closed in pristine condition.

Any problems found at the closing (beyond a quick fix) will require a separate service call which will be booked as soon as time permits. Quick fixes will be charged as a separate line item on the closing invoice.

Other Notes:

If you believe you may have been losing water this summer, an investigation is an urgent necessity. A winter leak can cause serious damage to the overall structure of your swimming pool and should be dealt with prior to your pool closing. We will not cover a pool when a leak is suspected.

Due to the many factors outside our control, R&R Pools’ cannot guarantee protection against winter damage or that your pool cover will remain in place.

Since every pool is unique, the winterization plan will be tailored to its specific needs and conditions. Some lights will be pulled out, some cannot be. We winterize your pool and equipment based upon the best option for your pool, as per our experience. We highly recommend you provide us with as much information as possible regarding placement of products and procedure, based upon your specific pool. Due to the high level of services we complete there will be an extra charge if we need to return due to inaccurate or missing information.

Additional charges may be incurred with pools containing the following:

• Excess leaves and debris
• Leaf nets
• A second cover
• Swim jets
• Vinyl (rubber cover)
• Water features
• Additional filtration systems
• Above ground pools that are too tight to the deck will be charged on a case-by-case basis.

Questions? Don’t hesitate to give us a call! Our friendly staff members are happy to answer any questions you may have about closing your pool for the winter and how we can help that process go as smoothly as possible.
