Winterization Of A Commercial Pool
I am an employee of a local pool and tennis club. The club has a 176,000 gallon commercial pool. We do not have the money to hire a company to winterize it this year, so we are attempting to do it ourselves. There are many skimmers and a very large main drain at the bottom of a ten-foot deep end. Could you give me some sort of step-by-step? Is this even possible for someone besides a pool company? We have a DE filter system. Please get back to me. Thanks. Thanks for the question
It looks like you've already been on the pool closing page:
Pool Winterization
This page, along with the videos, gives a step-by-step guide on how to close your swimming pool for the Winter.
I do say this on the page:
"If you're the least bit unsure of what to do or are not experienced in swimming pool closing or how to winterize a swimming pool, I highly recommend hiring a swimming pool professional."
It's not too difficult, but it needs to be done correctly.
One of the issues with your pool, I would say, is properly blowing out the lines. This needs to be done in order to keep the lines from freezing. I will assume your pool is outside being that you're asking about how to winterize the pool.
Many times people opt to use a non toxic anti-freeze for the lines. While this is certainly a way to go, when it comes time to open the pool in Spring, you'll open the lines again and all of the anti-freeze goes into the pool.
Again, I would encourage you to go to the page above, follow the directions and watch the videos. Anything I say here would be repeating myself on the page above.
Hope this helps and good luck with your pool.
