Peace of mind for the off-season

Pool winterization & winter care in Raleigh

Enjoy the peace of mind of a pool that is cared for through the quieter months. Platinum winterizes water features and applicable components while generally keeping your main circulation and filtration running year-round.

A little help starts with a simple conversation.

Inground pool and spa surrounded by landscaping

Winter care for the way we use pools in North Carolina

At Platinum, winterization typically does not mean shutting down the whole pool. We focus on water features and components that need protection from freezing temperatures. Your pool’s main circulation and filtration generally stay running, and regular maintenance can continue all winter.

Give water features winter attention

Water features and applicable components get the seasonal preparation they need for freezing weather, while the main pool system generally stays in operation.

Keep the water cared for

Leaves and water chemistry still need attention after swimming season. Weekly or biweekly maintenance can continue through winter, giving your pool familiar, ongoing care.

Keep circulation in the picture

Our usual approach keeps the main circulation and filtration systems running throughout the year. Winter care is built around that operating pool, rather than a full seasonal shutdown.

A little attention between visits

During freezing temperatures, homeowners need to keep pool equipment powered and make sure freeze protection is functioning. That remains an important part of winter care between maintenance visits.

Care from people who know pools

Craig Mayhugh, owner of Platinum Pool Service and Liquid Designs, brings more than 20 years of hands-on experience in custom pool design and construction. Platinum carries that connection into ongoing care for residential inground pools and spas.

Ask About Winter Pool Care

A few questions you may have

Does Platinum completely close pools for winter?

Typically, no. In North Carolina, our standard approach is to winterize water features and applicable components while leaving the main circulation and filtration systems running year-round.

Can I keep my regular pool maintenance through winter?

Yes. Weekly or biweekly maintenance can continue through winter to keep the water clean and balanced and support ongoing equipment care.

What does winter pool maintenance cost?

Regular maintenance is $114 per visit, plus chemicals and applicable sales tax. Filter cleanings, repairs and separate service calls cost extra. For water-feature winterization, contact us about your pool so we can help with pricing for that work.

What do I need to do between winter visits?

Keep your pool equipment powered and make sure freeze protection is functioning during freezing temperatures. If the power goes out or equipment stops, follow the cold-weather guidance for your system and contact a pool professional.

When should I reach out for winter care?

Get in touch before freezing weather arrives so we can help plan winter care for your pool. A little advance notice makes it easier to coordinate a visit.
