Did you know that we live in what is considered the “Sun Belt”? This applies to anyone who lives in the South, including Southeast or Southwest\u2014where our terrain is considered a desert, Mediterranean, or tropical. One of the biggest benefits of living in the Sacramento area, where it rarely gets below freezing for many days in a row, is that if you have an inground or above-ground pool on your property, you will likely never need to close it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And because you’ll likely never need to close it, this means you can enjoy it year-round. But you’ll enjoy it a lot more <\/em>if you have a professionally installed and serviced solar pool heater, which is where we come in! Before we get to that, let’s talk a bit more about winterizing your pool\u2014because even though it’s unlikely you’ll need to, there are still some things you should know in case you do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If the average winter temperature in your area stays around 45\u00b0F, then you might want to consider at least doing a partial closure. After all, if you have a pool then you’ve made a huge investment in the enjoyment of your home, and you want to protect that investment as best as possible, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s best to consult with our pros if you have any questions or concerns, but our partners at Pentair provided these essential tips for partial closure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
