What's Included in Our Pool Closing and Winterization
Our pool winterization protects your pool, equipment and plumbing from freezing temperatures through the off season. Here is what a closing includes.
Water Chemistry
We clean the pool and balance the water chemistry before closing, so your pool is ready for the cover and algae growth is kept in check over the winter.
Lowering the Water Level
We lower the water to the correct level for your pool type and cover so freezing can't damage the pool structure or plumbing.
Blowing Out and Plugging Plumbing Lines
We blow the water out of your plumbing lines and plug them so water can't collect and freeze inside.
Antifreeze
Antifreeze is added to the plumbing where needed as extra protection against freeze damage.
Draining the Pump, Filter and Heater
All equipment, including the filter, pump and heater, is drained, cleaned and protected so water can't freeze inside and cause damage.
Cleaning Before Closing
We skim the surface, brush the walls and vacuum the pool floor, so you aren't closing a dirty pool.
Pool Cover Installation
We install a durable winter cover to keep out debris, reduce algae growth and help keep your pool safe all winter.

Inground vs. Above-Ground Pool Closing
We provide pool closing for both pool types. The steps are similar, but each type has its own needs.
Inground Pool Closing
Inground pools have plumbing that runs underground, so the lines need to be blown out and plugged, the equipment drained, and antifreeze added where needed. Your water level, cover and liner type all affect how far the water is lowered. Vinyl-liner and fiberglass pools should never be drained completely.
Above-Ground Pool Closing
Above-ground pools have simpler plumbing, but the walls and cover take the brunt of winter. We lower the water to the right level, drain and protect the pump and filter, and install a durable winter cover.
Not sure which setup you have?
Tell us when you book and we'll plan accordingly. We also carry pool covers, solar blankets, pumps, filters, chemicals and other pool accessories.
Why the Right Winter Cover Matters
A durable winter cover keeps debris out of your pool, reduces algae growth and helps keep the pool safe over the winter. It is one of the most important parts of protecting your investment.
We inspect your winter pool cover so you know your system and cover are ready for whatever winter Idaho brings, even a big snow year.
Hot Tub Covers and Spa Service
Hot tub owners benefit from a good cover, too. A well-fitted, insulated spa cover reduces heat loss, limits evaporation to help keep your water chemistry balanced, keeps debris out, and helps keep people and pets safe.
At Budget Pool & Spa Tech we handle
hot tub repair, spa service, and spa cover installation. If you need a custom hot tub cover replacement, take a look at
Cot Spa Covers, a locally owned, family-run Meridian business that has been making custom spa covers since 1984.
When to Close Your Pool in the Treasure Valley
The best time for pool closing is in the fall, after temperatures cool down and before the first hard freeze. Our fall calendar fills quickly, so book early.
Why closing too early is a problem: if the water is still warm when the cover goes on, algae can grow underneath, and you may open to a green pool in spring.
Why closing too late is a problem: leaves and debris collect in the water, and a freeze can hit before your plumbing and equipment are protected. That's when costly damage happens.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pool Closing in Boise, ID
How much does pool closing cost?
Every pool is different. The size, type, cover and equipment all affect the work needed, so contact us with your pool details and we'll walk you through what's needed.
What is included in a pool closing service?
We clean the pool and balance the water chemistry, lower the water level, blow out and plug the plumbing lines, add antifreeze where needed, drain and protect the pump, filter and heater, and install your winter cover.
What is the difference between pool closing and pool winterization?
They mean the same thing. Pool winterization is the technical term for protecting your pool from freezing, and pool closing is the service name most homeowners search for.
When should I schedule a pool closing in Boise?
In the fall, after temperatures cool down and before the first hard freeze. Book early, since our fall calendar fills quickly.
Does a winter cover protect my pool equipment?
A winter cover keeps debris out and reduces algae growth, but it doesn't protect your plumbing or equipment from freezing. That's why we also drain and protect the pump, filter and heater and protect the plumbing lines.
Do you inspect my winter pool cover?
Yes. We inspect your winter pool cover so you know it's ready for the winter.
What happens if I close my pool too late?
Debris can collect in the water and a freeze can damage your plumbing before it's protected. If you've missed the window, call us right away.
