As summer draws to a close, it’s time to start thinking about shutting down your pool heat pump. But there are a few essential steps to take to protect your system and extend the life of your heat pump.

1. Draining and unplugging:
   Prevent water from freezing in your heat pump It’s crucial to drain your heat pump before winter to prevent water from freezing inside, which could cause serious damage. To do this, tilt the unit slightly backwards to allow water to drain from the ducts. If your unit is too heavy, you can use a vacuum cleaner with the “blow” function and insert the hose into the inlet section. You’ll see the water immediately drain to the outlet. Unplug it too, to avoid short circuits or other electrical problems during the cold season.
2. Invest in a protective cover
   Protect your equipment with a protective cover adapted to your pool heat pump. This will help protect it from winter weather and dust. All our retailers have the right covers for your heat pump model.
3. Cleaning and water treatment: Avoid damage to your pool
   Make sure your pool water is clean and well-balanced before covering it. A shock treatment may be a good idea to avoid unpleasant surprises in spring. Empty a quantity of water equivalent to two-thirds of your pool’s volume, leaving only one-third.
4. Pro tip: Call in an expert
   If you’re not sure what steps to take, it’s always advisable to call in a professional to close your pool and heat pump properly. Pay-per-use pool closure services are available for a no-hassle, turnkey solution.

Don’t forget: a successful closing is your guarantee of a trouble-free opening next spring!
