What happens onFreezing winter nights
The Las Vegas valley sees about ten freezing nights a year, mostly in December and January. Still water inside exposed pipes and equipment can freeze and cause severe damage, which is why circulation must keep moving.
Moving water rarely freezes
Pools that stay open must run their pumps on cold nights. Moving water resists freezing better than still water.
Freeze sensors
Many automation systems use an air temperature sensor to turn the pump on automatically when the temperature drops near freezing.
Without automation
If you have a mechanical timer instead of an automation system, the pump must be scheduled to run through the coldest hours of the night.
Damage is not covered
Freeze damage when circulation was turned off is excluded from our company warranty.
Pool closing questions
All QuestionsDo I have to close my pool in Las Vegas?
No, most Las Vegas pools run all year. Closing is only necessary if you are leaving the property empty for several months and cannot monitor the system.
Can you just drain the pool completely?
Most Las Vegas pools run all year. For owners who leave, our closing service balances the water, protects the lines, and installs the cover.
Do most Las Vegas pools need to be closed for winter?
No, most Las Vegas pools run all year because our winters are mild. We typically provide closing and winterization services for vacation homes or owners who leave the valley for the season.
What if my freeze sensor is broken?
We can test the sensor during a visit. If it has failed, we provide a written estimate to replace it so your system can protect itself on freezing nights.
