Online pool supplies company PoolGear Plus® is offering several pool closing tips to help pool owners successfully close their pools for winter. The list of pool winterizing tips is available on the PoolGear Plus Blog at http://www.poolgear.com/blog

Clearwater, Florida (I-Newswire) September 19, 2012 - PoolGear Plus, the online pool supplies superstore, has published a list of pool closing tips to help pool owners ready their swimming pools for winter. Above ground and inground swimming pool owners alike should close their pools properly to protect them during winter and to make spring pool opening easier.

The time pool owners close their pools depends on the climate in which the pool is located. Regardless of when they close their pools, pool owners should know that continued chlorination is crucial until the pool water is completely frozen.

Whether the pool is inground or above ground, a pool closing kit is essential to pool closing. A pool closing kit helps protect the pool from algae, scale and stains while it is closed.

Although both above ground and inground pools need winter pool covers to keep debris out of the pool while it’s not being used over the long winter, above ground pool owners need different pool closing accessories than inground pool owners. Above ground pool owners should also be sure to remove pool ladders and anything else that hangs in the water prior to closing the pool.

Above ground pools need pool air pillows that are placed underneath the above ground pool cover to attract freezing water and relieve the pressure on pool walls. Above ground winter pool covers should come with a large overlap to ensure it fits the pool properly. Winter pool covers with blue-green upper sides treated to reflect UV-rays and black undersides that prevent pool algae are both durable and effective at keeping the pool clean.

Once the above ground winter pool cover is placed on the pool, pool owners can choose to apply a winter cover seal that wraps around the above ground pool. The winter pool cover seal will prevent wind from getting underneath the cover and causing damage to the pool.

Like an above ground pool cover, an inground winter pool cover should come with a large overlap to ensure it fits the pool correctly. Winter pool covers with longer warranties provide better strength and durability..

Inground pools need a pool winterizing accessory called water tubes. Pool owners fill these single-chamber or double-chamber water tubes with water and attach them to spaced holders on inground winter pool covers. Water tubes secure inground pool covers for the worst weather and give pool owners a worry-free winter season.
