Some pool closing myths are scarier than others.
Myth: A little water left in the lines won’t hurt anything.
Fact: Water expands about 9% when it freezes. That’s enough to crack a pump, a filter, or a pipe underground. That’s why we blow out the lines and add antifreeze.
Myth: Any antifreeze will do.
Fact: Not all antifreeze is the same. RV antifreeze is often alcohol-based, which can dry out the seals and gaskets in your equipment. We use antifreeze made for pools.
Myth: If the water’s clear when you close, it’ll be clear when you open.
Fact: Not guaranteed. The water sits all winter without moving. Closing chemicals help protect it until spring.
