Getting Your Pool Ready for Closing
- Balance the water
Just like at start-up, it’s important to balance your water before closing. Keep Total Alkalinity at 80–120 ppm, pH between 7.2 and 7.8 abd Total Hardness between 200-400 ppm. - Shock and treat the water
Use FROG Leap Pool Hibernation®. This easy, 3-step pool closing kit shocks the water and protects against algae all winter long. - Lower the water level
Lower the water level to below the mouth of the skimmer to prevent freezing that could damage pipe or the skimmer. - Prep your equipment
Drain all water from all equipment, including pumps, filters and your FROG Leap Infuzer® (using the knobs at the bottom). - Remove the Torpedo Pac
If the chlorine cartridge still has product, wrap it in plastic and store it safely. Discard the Mineral Cartridge, as it only lasts one season.
