* Due to local laws regarding discharge and pumping down of pool water please do not shock your pool or add any chlorine tablets to skimmers within 10
days of your pool closing date. If you have a chlorine feeder or saltwater system please set the output to zero. This should allow the chlorine levels to drop
to the appropriate levels for discharge (Maryland must be 0 ppm, Virginia must be 1 ppm or less and D.C. must be pumped to sanitary sewer). If your
chlorine levels test above these levels we will have to reschedule your closing for the next available date.
**No fresh water sources will be winterized unless special arrangements have been made prior to closing
