When it comes to closing your pool, there’s a right way and a wrong way to do it.
One misstep could significantly damage your equipment and cost you thousands of dollars in repairs.

Our professional team will take care of everything for you to ensure that your inground pool is properly protected all winter long.
Please be advised that our pool closing service runs from August to November. After this time, there will be a 50% surcharge for winterizing any pool.

Pump Reconditioning
Has your pump been acting up? Don’t wait till spring to find out that it needs repairs. A troublesome pump will prevent you from opening your pool on time. The key to keeping it working efficiently is to have it looked over now so that any necessary repairs can be done so you can open your pool next year with ease. Reconditioning services include:
Evaluating the condition and provide an estimate before repairing
Reinstalling the pump when we open your pool in the spring.
Service Salt Cell (Annual)
If you have a saltwater pool, you’ll need to have your salt cell cleaned every year to remove any calcium deposits to keep it working efficiently. Our team at Benson Pool will treat your salt cell to remove scale build-up, improve its function and extend its service life.
Three-Step Cartridge Cleaning Service
A pool’s filter cartridge should be deep cleaned every three months for longevity. We’ll make sure it’s properly cleaned to restore its filtering ability so it’s ready to go when you open your pool.
