Octopus Pool Service

Pool Closings

Customized for You!

A professional pool closing is the best way to protect your investment through the long New England winter. We blow out and plug your plumbing lines, using non-toxic antifreeze as additional protection against any potential freeze damage.

On the day of your pool closing, we ask that you provide us with access to the pool, a water source with garden hose near the pool, as well as to a working electrical outlet near the pool. Please leave all winter plugs and the pool cover out for our technicians. We encourage all customers to shut off the pool system and lower the water in preparation for your pool closing appointment. If you cannot lower the water for your closing, please let us know and we will do it for an additional charge.

Choose from our two Pool Closing options. Please note there are add-on services available for the Standard Pool Closing.
