If you live in a colder climate, you know how winter pool prep can be. Considering freezing temps, metal stains, murky water, and even the possibility of cracked surfaces - all of it can happen if your pool isn’t properly closed for the season.
Today we're diving into the chemistry of pool winterizing. Poolzillas' winterizing kit is not just a bunch of chemicals thrown in a box. Each one plays a role in protecting your pool over the winter, so you don’t open it in spring to a green, cloudy mess.
Let’s break it down by what you’re really getting, and why it matters.
For Smaller Pools (up to 12,000 gallons):
-
Dry Granular Winterizer (1 LB)
Think of this as your pool’s winter jacket. It forms a protective layer on the water’s surface, helping prevent freezing damage and preserving water clarity. -
Sequestering Compound (1 LB)
Ever open your pool and find ugly stains or scale buildup on the walls? This helps with decreasing that. It controls minerals and metals so they don’t bond to your pool surfaces. -
Winter Oxy Shock (1 LB)
Leaves, debris, and contaminants don’t disappear just because your pool isn’t being used. Oxy Shock breaks all of the contaminants within debris down before it becomes a problem.
Bottom line: This kit gives you the basics for safe, effective winter protection. All with less work, just to offer fewer surprises in the spring.
For Larger Pools (up to 24,000 gallons):
-
Winter Clarifier (1 Quart)
Keeps your water looking crystal clear, even under the cover. Less murky mess to deal with later. -
Winter Stain & Scale Control (1 Quart)
Prevents stains, scale, and mineral deposits before they can form. Protects your surfaces and saves you from costly clean-ups. -
Winter Oxy Shock (2 LBS)
Same power as the smaller kit - just double the dose. Great for bigger pools or extra protection. -
Dry Granular Winterizer (2 LBS)
A stronger barrier to help fight freezing temperatures and maintain water clarity all winter long.
Bottom line: If you’ve got a bigger pool, this kit covers all the bases; and then some.
