About this service
A Utah winter is hard on a pool that isn't closed properly. When water sits in the lines and freezes, it expands, and that's how you end up with cracked pipes, a damaged pump, or a heater that doesn't survive to spring. A proper winterization is the difference between opening a healthy pool next year and opening an expensive repair bill.
Polar Pools winterizes pools across the Wasatch Front, from Santaquin to Ogden, with the goal of protecting everything you've invested in your pool. We balance the water for the months it will sit, blow out and protect the lines so nothing freezes and cracks, shut your equipment down safely, and install your cover. It takes more time and care than an opening, and that care is exactly what keeps your pool safe through the cold.
Winterization is $275 for a pool and $350 for a pool and spa together. It's a small fraction of what freeze damage costs to repair, and it buys you a season of not worrying about it.

Common questions
Why does a proper winterization matter?
Because freeze damage is expensive. When water freezes in your lines or equipment, it expands and can crack pipes, pumps, and heaters. A proper closing removes that water and protects your equipment, so you're not paying for repairs when you open in the spring.
How much does winterization cost?
Winterization is $275 for a pool and $350 for a pool and spa. It takes more time and care than a spring opening, which is reflected in the price, and it's far less than the cost of repairing freeze damage.
When should I close my pool?
Before the first hard freeze of the season. In Utah that usually means sometime in fall, and it's best not to wait too long. Reach out early and we'll get you on the schedule. When spring comes back around, we're happy to handle your opening too.
