New Jersey winters bring freezing temperatures that can take a toll on your pool. Without proper care, your investment could face costly damage. At Island Pools, we understand the unique challenges of pool maintenance in Englewood and throughout Bergen County. Let us guide you through the best practices to keep your pool safe during the harsh winter months.
Why Winter Pool Maintenance with Island Pools Is Essential
When the temperature drops below freezing, your pool is at risk for:
- Cracked Surfaces: Frozen water can expand, causing damage to your pool liner or plaster.
- Damaged Equipment: Pumps, filters, and pipes can burst if water freezes inside them.
- Debris Build-Up: Without proper covering, your pool can accumulate leaves, snow, and dirt, leading to springtime headaches.
At Island Pools, we specialize in helping homeowners avoid these issues with tailored winterization services that protect your pool and save you money.
