What's the right way to winterize your pool?
Every year I see quite a few mistakes that homeowners make when closing their pools. Although it's certainly not impossible to close your pool yourself, one does need to understand the basic steps to this important process. An improper pool closing can lead to major filter system and plumbing damage, potentially costing the homeowner thousands in unnecessary expenses.
The following steps show the basics to a proper pool winterization.

River Pools® manufactures fiberglass pool shells and does not install pools. Pools are installed by locally owned and operated dealers and franchisees. The relationship between the dealers and franchisees to River Pools® is that of an independent contractor. River Pools Franchising LLC (Franchising) provides independently owned and operated River Pool franchisees with the right to market the River Pools brand of pool shells as a franchisee. Franchising does not manufacture pool shells. Due to the unprecedented and historic growth of the River Pools brand, this website contains an abundance of information that has been created over the last decade. Some of the content on this site may reflect prices, perspectives, processes, entities, and names that were relevant at the time but may not be as relevant today.
Consumers should consult their local installer (independent dealer or franchisee) for the most accurate and updated information based on the unique conditions of their property. Consumers should verify specifications with the installing dealer rather than relying on the information on this website, which is not intended to be a final specification.
