Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a winter pool cover?

A winter pool cover keeps leaves, dirt, and debris out of your pool while also blocking sunlight that can encourage algae growth.

What is the difference between solid and mesh covers?

Solid covers block out all debris and sunlight, while mesh covers allow water to pass through but still keep out larger debris like leaves and twigs.

How do I choose the right pool closing kit size?

Select a kit based on your pool’s capacity. We offer kits for 12,000, 24,000, and 30,000 gallons to ensure you add the proper amount of chemicals.

What does the 1 Solution Pool Closer do?

It’s an all-in-one liquid formula that simplifies pool closing by preventing algae, scale, and scumlines without needing multiple chemicals.

Do I need a different kit for a saltwater pool?

Yes, saltwater pools require a closing kit designed for their unique chemistry, which helps prevent corrosion and scaling through the winter.

Why use a pool closing buoy?

A buoy floats under your cover to help distribute weight and reduce pressure from ice expansion, extending the life of your cover.

Closing your pool for the winter is about more than just covering it up, it’s about protecting your investment and ensuring a smooth spring opening. Our Winter Pool Closing Essentials collection has everything you need to get the job done right.

Whether you own an above ground or inground pool, you’ll find durable winter covers, solar covers, and solid covers built to shield your pool from debris, harsh weather, and algae growth.

We also offer specialized pool closing kits tailored to pools of every size, from 12,000 to 30,000 gallons. For an even simpler solution, check out our 1 Solution Pool Closer, or if you own a saltwater pool, our saltwater closing kit has you covered. These kits contain the right blend of chemicals to prevent algae, scale, and staining during the off-season.

To make closing even easier, the collection also includes cover pumps for removing excess water, buoys for better cover support, as well as skimmer nets and rakes for that final cleanup before closing. With these essentials, you can rest easy knowing your pool will be protected all winter long, and you’ll be ready to enjoy clean, clear water when warmer weather returns.
