Pool Closings
Pool closings must be done properly to avoid costly repairs the following season when you summarize your pool. This is particularly true for pools with special features like spas, waterfalls, and floor cleaning systems where the repair cost can be very high.
Sweetwater has been in the business for fifty years and has the knowledge to properly winterize pools of all levels. We offer partial and full service winterizing options.
Pool Closing Prices
Prices are determined by difficulty and size of the pool
While basic pools are winterized at our base rate plus chemicals, pools with special features like spas, waterfalls, or floor cleaning systems cost more. Sweetwater charges an extra $80 per special feature. Chemicals are determined due to size and features.
