Do fiberglass pools break in the winter ?
No, most I have seen survive through the winter unharmed. If draining the pool is not acceptable (as often is the case) then an insulated pool cover will likely be needed to help prevent damage in the event of a sudden drop in temperature.
What kind of in-ground swimming pool maintenance is needed over winter in cold climates?
To winterize your inground swimming pool, first backwash the filter, and then disconnect the pump. Purchase winterizing chemicals for the pool water, and be sure to use a pool cover.
Pool season is over and your pool has a leak and the water has drained is it safe to leave the pool empty through the winter months?
Not if it is a vinyl liner pool. You have to fix the leaks. The walls will collapse and you will have to get a new pool. Fill it back up and call American leak detection or another company. I recommend them because they will come out and fix it until it is repaired. If you don't, you will probably have to pay for a brand new pool essentially. I didn't get my pool closed until the second week of october because of this. Finally they fixed it and I closed it.
When inground pool is running on filter is the drain open or closed?
Closed
What do you do if air pillow pops while pool is frozen?
An air pillow is only present for the management of rain water on top of the cover. It is not designed tostructurally safeguard the pool. Do not touch the pool once it has frozen water upon it. You may cause more damage than leaving it alone.
What do you do if the bubble under your pool cover pops and your pool is already covered with ice?
Typically you really do not need to do anything. Many homeowners winterize their pool every year, without even using an air pillow. Not using an air pillow will not harm your pool in any way, even in climates where freezing temperatures occur.For the most part the benefit of an air pillow allow the water on the top of the cover to collect more towards the outside of the pool, rather than the center. This helps keep the cover from flapping in high wind situations. Which can help with the lifespan of the pool cover.It is not necessary to use an air pillow, and there is no reason to be alarmed if your pillow has deflated. Your pool will be just fine in the Spring!Charlie Goss DPD PoolsCorrect AnswerWhile it is true that you can do very little once the pillow is popped, the above answer is otherwise incorrect.The proper name for the pillow is "Ice Equalizer Pillow"If you are in an area where ice may form on your pool it is suggested that you use an ice equalizer pillow under the cover. Those pillows are for keeping a hole in the middle of the ice, and not so much for holding up the cover as is a common misconception. The use of an ice equalizer pillow may can help reduce the chances of ice damage if your area is prone to freezing. If the pillow is overfilled with air prior to putting it into the pool, the pressure placed on it from ice expansion on the surface of the pool can cause it to pop. When the pillow s filled it should be filled loosely - you should be able to easily press your hand into it about 12 inches. When you tie it in you should leave some room for the pillow to shift slightly. Overfilling with air and tying too tightly are the two primary reasons for ice equalizer pillows to pop.Of course, in areas not prone to freezing, the pillow is only there as a convenience and serves little purpose othter than that stated on the first answer, which is to help keep the water toward the edge.

Why did they close the Hamilton Middle School pool?
The reason the pool is closed is not known, but it might be that it was closed because a girl died in the pool. It could be that it was determined that having the pool was too much of a danger or the school wanted to avoid any chance of liability.
