With Proper Winterization, Your Customers Will Be Ready To Rule the Pool This Spring

Main Content Starts Here

As a pool professional, you’re used to answer a lot of questions... especially as pool season comes to a close. Properly winterizing pools is crucial for minimizing questions and creating happier customers. Here are some tips for guiding your customers through winterization (and turning them into repeat customers this spring):

Simplify Winterization with an App:

Equip your customers with tools like the Pentair Pool app, which can be connected to products on their pool equipment pad for real-time monitoring. With just a tap, they can confirm that all systems are effectively turned off and ready for the off-season. When it comes time to open the pool again, the app can also help them confirm if everything is operating as it should.

Recommend a Reliable Variable Speed Pump:

If your customers don't close their pools before autumn storms roll in, a product like the IntelliFlo3® Variable Speed and Flow Pool Pump allows users to increase pump speed and filtration capabilities. This means easier debris cleanup after a storm and a more stress-free conclusion to the pool season!

Emphasize the Importance of Protecting Their Pool:

A pool is a big investment, and any missteps during winterization can result in damages. Help them avoid costly repairs in the spring by offering direction on how to prevent freezing and cracking. You might also consider offering a winterization service package to further ensure their pools are properly prepared.

Encourage Regular Check-Ins During Winter:

Advise your customers to periodically check their pool cover and water level throughout the winter to ensure everything remains secure. Remind them that you’re available for mid-winter inspections or quick tune-ups if they need extra peace of mind. These small check-ins can prevent major issues from arising and strengthen their trust in your services. By connecting your customers’ pool pads to your dashboard in the Pentair Pro app, you can also spot and troubleshoot issues before they even call. Plus, it’s a business-booster… you can offer remote monitoring as a paid service, and it comes free with your Pentair Pro account.
