🍂 **Thinking about closing your pool? DON'T CLOSE TOO EARLY!**
One of the biggest mistakes we see is closing a pool while the water is still too warm. Warm water can mean algae growth, depleted sanitizer and a nasty surprise waiting for you when you pull that cover off in the spring. 😬
Our advice? **Don't close based on the calendar—close based on the water temperature!** Once water temperatures are consistently around 60–65° or lower, you're getting much closer to the ideal time to winterize.
A little patience now can save you a LOT of time, chemicals and money when it's time to open next spring! 💦
