Pool Closing & Winterization in the Fox Valley, IL
Lines blown out, equipment drained, cover secured. Freeze-proof winterization before the first hard frost.
Aqua Vida Custom Pools closes and winterizes pools throughout the Fox Valley: Geneva, St. Charles, Batavia, and surrounding Illinois towns. The right closing window in Chicagoland is late September to mid-October, once water holds below 60°F. Our winterization blows out and plugs every line, adds winterizing chemicals, lowers the water level, drains the equipment, and secures the cover. Fall calendars fill fast. Book by early September.

Pool Closing FAQs
Answers to the questions Fox Valley pool owners ask us most.
Closing price depends on pool size, cover type, attached spas or water features, and how many lines need winterizing. Call (630) 699-5180 or use our contact form for an exact quote. Closing appointments book up by late September.
Our winterization includes blowing out and plugging all plumbing lines, adding winterizing chemicals, lowering the water level appropriately, draining pumps, filters, and heaters, removing ladders and accessories, and securing the winter cover.
Water left in the lines expands when it freezes and can crack pipes, pump housings, filters, and heater manifolds. Line freezes are the most expensive winter failure we repair. Professional winterization exists to prevent exactly that.
No. Pools are only lowered below the skimmer line, never emptied. A fully drained pool risks liner damage and even structural shifting from groundwater pressure. The water that stays in the pool helps protect it all winter.
Book by early September. Closing crews in the Fox Valley fill their late-September and October calendars fast, and waiting too long can leave you gambling with the first freeze.
