Technical guidance

Clear information before you book.

Shut down correctly

Turn off heating commands and follow the equipment and pool-closing procedures for power, gas, automation, and circulation.

Remove trapped water

Water left in headers, exchangers, bypass passages, plumbing, or low points may freeze and split components.

Protect openings

Openings should be protected from debris, rodents, moisture, and nesting without blocking required drainage or creating unsafe conditions.

Do not rely on covers alone

A cover does not drain the heater. Freeze protection depends on removing or safely managing water in the equipment and connected piping.

Inspect before spring startup

Look for leaks, damaged wiring, nesting, corrosion, valve position, disconnected plugs, and freeze damage before firing the heater.

Common questions

Questions About This Service

Can I winterize the heater by turning off the gas?No. Gas shutdown alone does not remove water from the exchanger and plumbing.
Should drain plugs be removed?Follow the manufacturer and pool-closing procedure for the specific model. Drain points and plugs vary by equipment.
What happens if water freezes in the exchanger?Freezing water expands and may split headers, tubes, manifolds, fittings, or related plumbing components.
