After the warm days of the Summer are gone and the leaves start falling in your pool it is a signal for you to start thinking about winterization of your pool and pool equipment.
Winterization is necessary for the D.C. metro area with Winter temperatures falling below the freezing.
Failure to close properly your pool will result in hundreds if not thousands of dollars of damage to your equipment and your pool due to water freeze in the pipes and the equipment itself.
