Everyone Winterizing?
Is everyone winterizing their clients pools?
We are still in the thick of it but the end is in sight. I figure everyone is busy...no body is posting.  Scott

Re: Everyone Winterizing?
Hi I'm sorry, I can't figure out how to start a new thread!
y sister and parents bought a house with an indoor pool in Acton MA last year. then My sister got cancer. I'm thinking they need to get rid of the expense of that pool  . Anyone tell me what's involved in converting that huge room with cathedral ceiling and a wall of sliding doors to the deck, into a living room/ activity room? Pool is about 25 by 54Tersh |

Re: Everyone Winterizing?
Just winterized this project along with the two outdoor spas and a Reflection Pool. After drain down we hit it with air and got almost no water, it's nice to have a pump pit that's 11' below the pool deck!
We then installed the winter covers on each vessel. The main pool at 5,600 square feet was a hump, but the two of us did it. I don't care if I never see a Hilti drill again!! |

Shoreline,
5600 sqft is a monster. Is that pool in CT. Hotel? Took a couple minutes with just two of you to get it installed.  Scott

Re: Everyone Winterizing?
Actually the main pool cover took two of us a day and a half to install. The anchors had to be drilled and installed, etc.
