I'm from pennsauken New Jersey, first time pool owner, first year closing it, thanks for your video i really learned a lot.

[amberramirez]

I saw the Swim University video first and left more confused than before I watched it.

I appreciated you showing each step as you talked through each one and explaining why you were doing it. Thank you!

This is the best video for closing your pool! Please don’t ever take it down. I’d be lost without it!

Texas guy here. We just had a pool installed and are total newbies. This was the best tutorial video I've seen on winterization, and I'm now confident in how to close ours down for the winter. Thank you sir for the information!

[andrewferriell]

This is a great tutorial. I watch this every fall just before closing my pool. Sometimes twice. Probably overkill, but this is a great resource to make sure you've got everything ready to go.

Sydney-AUSTRALIA here. Watched your video and thought wow, what a lot of trouble to go to just for Winter. Then I realised, we don't have the harsh winters like you probably do with snow and all. I live in the suburbs, so I just keep my pool clean all year round and even get to swim in it during some of our hot winter days. I have just installed a Pool Heater - very in expensive, but might be costly to run if you don't have solar. Now we swim ALL year round. A bubble pool cover also helps to keep the heat in when not in use. 10/10 for you ideas though - American worthwhile I guess.

So i live in Salt Lake City, Utah. And i just wanted to say that i thought your video was extremely helpful, and insightful. Love the shrink wrap idea to help keep the cover on and in tacked through the winter. Thank you so much for your time and effort. This was truly the best visual and informative video i have seen, for this particular process!!!!

I'm about to close out my AGP for the very first time. I'm in Ohio and and slightly nervous in closing the pool right. I just simply wanted to say thank you. The BEST winterizing video I have seen thus far. I appreciate it. Less anxiety in closing it now. Thank you!

[Supercalifragilistic]

This is THE best pool winterizing video that I've seen so far (and I've watch a lot!)! This is our first year winterizing our pool and you answered every question that we've had. Thank you SO much. My husband and I very much appreciate your wisdom and tips.
Oh, and we're from Michigan.

This is one of the very best tutorials I've seen for an above ground pool closing. Well done! The only thing I do differently is that I do not drain the water below the lowest pool opening. Instead, I seal my skimmer with a winter cap. The main reason why I do not drain the water is to prevent the pool cover form stretching when it rains. The lower the pool water, the more the cover is tended to stretch out.

I'm a first time pool(and home)owner and have no clue as to what I'm doing! You helped me open it in the spring and now I'm planning ahead to winterize it. Thank you so much for the thorough explanation. Amazon links are very helpful, too! God bless you and your family from Schuylkill County, PA ☺️

[carmencintron]

I’m in NY and a 1st time pool owner. This video was very helpful. Thanks

[dennismcconnell]

Great job on this video. This is the first year I've had a pool and will be my first time winterizing a pool. This will give me the confidence I need to get it done right. From Central Iowa. You sir I can relate! Thank you!

[palanthasherald]

First time pool owner and was going to hire someone to close it up, was shocked by the quote of over a 1000. This helped me out a ton to get it done the right way.

[davidgomez]

Hello! I live in El Paso, Texas. I like your idea using cellophane, especially with the crazy high winds we get here! I appreciate you making this video. Great attention to detail! Thank you for your service!

[Davewonder]
