- In this video, I'll show you how I closed and winterized my Thursdays Pools Aspen 16x40. I'll show you the chemicals and tools I used, as well as the process I used to blow out the lines.
Here's what I used to close the pool:
Winterizing kit: amzn.to/3WO0pX8
Gizzmo: amzn.to/3C5jDiT
Duck valves: amzn.to/3IcpQha
Antifreeze: amzn.to/3CbnJGl

What month do you winterize your pool? I waited until the second week of November to do mine this year.
Thanks for the video, I'm a Colombian guy living in Canada and because everything is different back there I sometimes get stuck trying to fix something, keep uploading videos about everything, the car, lawnmower, and fixing stuff around the house! Awesome job!
So you didn’t drain your pool below the skimmer? That’s a lot of trust in the Gizmo?
Great video, I'm done paying 400+ for someone to do what I can. The only problem I have is that no one makes a duck plug that fits jacuzzi brand return jets. So while the air is blowing bubbles I have to jam the rubber plugs in.
Was it truly a big deal or did you just need to muscle it a little bit?
Amazing video and thank you so much for taking the time to make it. I have pretty much the same set up and was just wondering about how you keep the water level at the skimmer throughout the winter? Are you periodically draining/filling the pool? Thanks again!
I do have to add water occasionally, but usually just once or twice during the off season. I open the cover every 3-4 weeks if we get some warmer weather just to check the level.
Thank you for the information, I do have one question as to othe bottom drains. Do you just leave those or do you cover them? You cant realy blow those out can you?
*new pool owner:)
So, I don’t have bottom drains but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen videos of people blowing air through those lines as well. I don’t know how you’d keep them from filling right back up with water, but if you look into some videos specific to pools with bottom drains, you may find some info on that.
Do you not drain it below the skimmer?
Nope. My warranty actually says that the water level has to be above the bottom of the skimmer at all times. I am probably going to block the skimmers off this year though.
My pool takes care of its self. Plugs out = mice in.
Balancing the water before closing is a bunch of horseshit and so is circulating the pool for hrs. There is no need to do either one
I’m just passing along advice from several pool care professionals. Feel free to add or omit as many steps as you please.
