De-winterizing a movable floor pool: the essentials
De-winterizing a movable floor pool is a particularly simple step compared to a traditional pool. Thanks to its innovative design, the movable floor effectively protects the basin during winter and allows a quick, economical, and hassle-free restart as soon as the warm weather returns.
Why is de-winterizing simplified with a movable floor?
When the floor is raised:
- It acts as a true hermetic cover
- It prevents dirt (leaves, dust, insects) from entering the water
- It greatly limits the deterioration of water quality
Result: the water stays clean and stable throughout the winter period.

Water preserved all winter
Deprived of light, the water does not promote the development of algae.
This allows:
- Greatly reducing chemical treatments
- Maintaining healthier water
- Reducing spring maintenance operations
Tip: it is recommended to use Clean Water Tab year-round as a complement to treat the water.
Steps for a spring restart of a movable floor pool
1. Checking the water condition
- Make sure the water has remained properly balanced during winter.
2. Light cleaning of the pool
- Run a pool robot
- Clean the waterline with an appropriate sponge
3. Restarting filtration

Why does the movable floor simplify pool maintenance?
Frequently asked questions about the spring restart of a movable floor pool
Is a shock treatment necessary when de-winterizing a movable floor pool?
No, unlike a traditional pool, a movable floor pool generally does not require shock treatment if the water was balanced and treated when the pool was closed. The movable floor, in the raised position, protects the water from light and impurities, limiting algae growth and water deterioration.
Why does the water stay clean during winter with a movable floor?
The movable floor acts as a true cover. It prevents external dirt from entering the pool and blocks light, which limits photosynthesis and therefore algae proliferation.
What are the steps to restart a movable floor pool?
The restart is simple:
- Clean the top of the movable floor if needed
- Check water balance
- Clean the pool with a pool robot
- Clean the waterline (magic sponge)
- Restart filtration after cleaning the filters
Should a movable floor pool be covered in winter?
No, the movable floor effectively replaces a traditional cover. When raised, it provides complete protection of the pool against impurities and external elements.
What maintenance is needed during winter?
If your movable floor pool remains closed all winter, you do not need to perform any specific water treatment during this period.
Some of our clients even completely stop pool water filtration during the entire wintering period.
Does the movable floor help reduce maintenance costs?
Yes, it allows significant reduction of:
- Chemical product consumption
- Maintenance time
- Intensive spring cleaning operations
