Expert Pool Winterisation Service in Old Windsor: Protecting Your Investment Through Winter

Serving Old Windsor, Windsor, Maidenhead, Slough, Ascot, High Wycombe and surrounding Berkshire areas

As the days grow shorter and temperatures drop across Berkshire, it's time to think about protecting your swimming pool through the winter months. At Clearway Pools and Spas Thames Valley, we recently completed a comprehensive pool winterisation service for a valued customer in Old Windsor, and we're excited to share the meticulous care that goes into properly closing a pool for the season.

Why Professional Pool Winterization Matters in Windsor and Berkshire

Winter can be harsh on outdoor swimming pools in the Thames Valley region. Without proper winterisation, pools in Old Windsor, Eton, Datchet, High Wycombe and surrounding areas can suffer from frozen pipes, damaged equipment, and costly repairs come spring. Our professional pool closing service ensures your investment stays protected throughout the cold months, saving you time, money, and stress.

Our Comprehensive Pool Closing Process

When our experienced technician arrived at this beautiful property in Old Windsor, they followed our thorough winterisation protocol to ensure complete protection:

Deep Clean and Preparation

We began with a complete pool cleaning, brushing and vacuuming all surfaces to remove debris and algae. The surface was carefully netted to ensure crystal-clear water before winterisation. This attention to detail prevents staining and makes spring opening much easier for homeowners in Windsor, Wraysbury, and Staines.

Filter Maintenance

Our team performed a complete backwash and rinse of the filtration system, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. When we encountered a pump issue during the service, we quickly troubleshooted with our support team, identifying and resolving a tripped circuit breaker. This kind of problem-solving expertise is what sets Clearway Pools Thames Valley apart in the Berkshire pool maintenance market.

Proper Water Level Management

We drained the pool to the optimal level—below the skimmer inlet—to prevent freeze damage while maintaining structural integrity. Using our professional-grade submersible pump, we efficiently brought the water to the perfect depth for winter storage, a crucial step for pools throughout Maidenhead, Cookham, and the surrounding Thames Valley area.

Chemical Balancing

Winter chemicals were carefully added and circulated for 10 minutes to ensure even distribution throughout the water. This protects against algae growth and water quality issues during the dormant months, keeping your Old Windsor or Windsor pool ready for a smooth spring reopening.

Equipment Winterisation

We took comprehensive steps to protect all pool equipment:

• Loosened heater connections to prevent freeze damage
• Removed pump tops and chemical feeder components
• Set the pump to winter mode
• Turned off all electrical switches safely
• Isolated the automatic top-up water feed
• Placed floating chemical containers in the pool as per manufacturer specifications

Secure Pool Covering

Finally, we securely covered the pool to keep out debris, leaves, and wildlife throughout the Berkshire winter. This final step ensures your pool stays clean and protected until spring arrives in the Thames Valley.

Going Above and Beyond in Old Windsor

During this service, we also inspected the pool equipment area and identified some missing tiles that will need attention before the swimming season begins. We've scheduled a return visit in March 2026 to replace the chemical feeder and complete the tile repair and grouting work—demonstrating our commitment to comprehensive pool care for customers throughout Windsor, Ascot, Sunningdale, High Wycombe and beyond.

Spring Pool Opening Services Available Across Berkshire

As we close pools for winter, we're already planning ahead for spring! Our March 2026 visit to this Old Windsor property will include chemical feeder replacement and professional tile restoration, ensuring this beautiful pool is ready for summer enjoyment.
