How to Winterize Indoor Swimming Pools
- 1). Obtain winterizing chemicals. These can be purchased at a local pool supply store. Chemicals will differ based on the climate and location, so purchasing from a local store will avoid problems during winterization.
- 2). Cover the pool. A basic pool cover is all that’s needed for indoor pools. The cover prevents water evaporation throughout the season. Indoor pools do not need the sturdier winter covers that outdoor pools require.
- 3). Put a thermometer in the water so that it can be easily pulled out and read during the winter months. Check on the pool temperature often to ensure the water is not reaching freezing points.
- 4). Turn on the pump or heat when the water gets near freezing points. Most states will not need to worry about the indoor pool getting so cold, but states that are further north can have problems due to temperature drops. Churning the water with the pump or heating the water slightly will avoid freezing water.
