James knew that leaving his pool unattended during the off-season could lead to costly problems. He started by thoroughly cleaning the pool, removing all debris and brushing the walls to prevent algae buildup.

For tasks beyond his expertise, James relied on pool service Victorville—their team expertly winterized his equipment, blew out the pipes to prevent freezing, and secured a durable cover.
