Knowing your pool is secured from the harsh winter weather and protected against accidents will give you peace of mind all winter long.  At AAA Pools, we carry a full line of winter pool safety covers, including the following from GLI Pool Products: - Max Shade Mesh™ Safety Covers - Promesh™ Safety Covers - Secur-A-Pool™ Mesh Safety Covers - Hyperlite™ Solid Safety Covers Not sure what type of safety cover is best for your needs?

A pool closing service prepares your inground pool to be properly closed and thoroughly winterized for harsh winter weather, performed by our PHTA-trained (Pool & Hot Tub Alliance) technicians. What happens during a pool closing? Pool closing includes draining the pool to the proper winterizing level, blowing water out of the lines and equipment, adding antifreeze, removing pool fittings and accessories, winterizing equipment, balancing and shocking the pool water, and installing a winter cover. Why is winterizing a pool important?  Winterizing protects your pool from harsh winter weather and helps prevent damage to equipment, plumbing lines, and the pool structure during the offseason. In the Chicago area, that means closing between the second and final week of October — before nighttime temperatures consistently drop toward freezing — since waiting longer increases the risk of frozen pipes and cracked equipment. What equipment is removed during a pool closing? During pool closing, items such as handrails, fittings, baskets, and other pool-related accessories are removed and stored for the winter. Why is a winter pool cover used? A winter cover protects the pool from debris and helps create a safe, secure environment by preventing animals or people from entering the pool during the offseason. What types of pools do you service for closings? AAA Pool Service provides pool closing and winterizing services for inground swimming pools in the North Shore and Western Suburbs of the Chicagoland area.
