Closed for Winter Doesn’t Mean Forgotten
Winter Pool Maintenance in North Bethesda MD
The PoolTek Way to Pool Care
Your pool should be the easiest part of your property. We keep it that way with steady, dependable care year after year.
Protect Your Pool All Winter
Your pool may be closed, but it still needs watching. Water should stay below the tile line to avoid ice damage. Chemistry should be checked to protect plaster from etching or scaling. Covers should be checked so they don’t fall in or tear.
Our Monthly Winter Service handles all of it. You can also book single visits as needed.
- Water Level Checks: We keep the water below the tile line to prevent ice damage.
- Chemistry Checks: We test and adjust so plaster doesn’t etch or scale.
- Cover Checks: We make sure your safety cover is secure, with straps attached and no tears.
- Winter Booster: We add a chlorine shock and algaecide in early spring to stop algae before your opening.
- Filter Soaking: We can soak your cartridges or DE grids over the winter so they’re ready in spring.

A chlorine shock and algaecide in early spring helps stop algae from growing before your pool is opened.
Usually not. Mesh safety covers are built to hold weight, and the water should sit no more than 18 inches below the deck. Check that the water hasn’t dropped and every strap is attached.
Yes. You can schedule visits as needed or choose a set number of visits on the closing form.
Low water, failed covers and unchecked chemistry can lead to ice damage, etched plaster and algae. Fixing those in spring costs far more than a few winter visits.
