When's the right time to close your pool for the season? If you don't have a heater, you definitely need to close your pool before temperatures drop below freezing. Frozen water can damage your equipment and pipes. On the other hand, you don't want to close your pool when it's too warm out. If you close your pool when it's too hot, you run the risk of algae growth.

Wait until temperatures stay consistently below 65 degrees Fahrenheit or 18 degrees Celsius before closing up for the season. Follow us at Swim University for more pool care tips throughout the year.

    Thanks for the reminder.
    We have had our pool for 32 years. Opened it Memorial Day weekend and closed it Labor Day. For years we did this and never had a problem with algae at the beginning of pool season
    Our climate has definitely changed over the years.
    We now need open it around May 15th and this week will be in the 80'' and 90's. We will have to wait another week or 2.
    I live about 20 miles south of the Canadian border.
    So we have been getting about an extra month of pool time.
