Pool Closing FAQ
Do I need to balance my pool water chemistry prior to the pool closing?
Yes, we strongly recommend to have your pool properly balanced at the time of your
pool closing. Improper levels of Calcium, pH and Total Alkalinity can
severely damage your pool finish during the winter months while the pool
water is dormant.

Vinyl pools do not need to lower water level. Liner manufacturers
recommend normal water levels to be maintained during the winter.

Do I need to be home at the time of my scheduled pool closing?
No! Sahara Pools can close your pool since everything is outside, as long as the electricity to the pool is on. We do need access to your pool cover and pool closing accessories, which may be left on the pool patio or unlocked pool shed prior to your closing. We also need the gates into the pool unlocked as well as the water level of the pool filled to operating level.
Do I need to winterize my pool heater even though I do not use it?
YES! Your pool heater still needs to be winterized since there is still water
flowing through it. If you want to remove a non-working heater, we can
bypass the plumbing for the heater as well as remove and dispose of the old heater for
$175.00.
Why is Sahara Pools asking for a credit card?
