Winter Pool Maintenance

Drain, clean, and cover the pool for winter.

Winterize the Pool

Being a pool owner has many benefits (obviously), but it does take some work as well. To prepare for the cold months, make sure to winterize your pool.

It's not enough to just cover your pool up and leave it for the winter. You have to make sure the pool and surrounding accessories are clean, that the water chemistry is right, and that the plumbing is winterized as well… the easiest way to do it all? Hire a Tasker!
