Cold & Freeze

Covers the Northeast, the industrial Midwest, and the Mountain states, where winters bring hard, reliable freezes and pool season compresses to a firm summer window. Most owners work within roughly a Memorial-Day-to-Labor-Day rhythm, about 4-5 months, with real risk of freeze damage to any plumbing left unprotected. The #1 maintenance consideration is thorough winterization: blowing out lines and protecting equipment against a hard freeze isn't optional, it's the difference between a pool that survives winter and one that needs expensive spring repairs.
