In this review of the In The Swim Saltwater Pool Closing Kit the bottom line is clear: this kit is for pool owners who run salt water systems and want a straightforward, non-chlorine winterizing solution that protects vinyl and plaster surfaces. The kit is pre-measured up to 15,000 gallons and combines a slow-release non-chlorine oxidizer floater, stain treatment and an oil-absorbing sorb so the most time-consuming closing tasks are simplified. For anyone who wants a compact set of chemicals that avoid bleaching or surface damage, this review finds the kit delivers practical, low-risk winter protection.
Key Features
- Saltwater-specific formula: The non-chlorine winterizer is formulated not to interfere with salt systems, minimizing the risk of chemical conflicts during off-season.
- Pre-measured for convenience: Components are portioned for pools up to 15,000 gallons to make dosing simple and reduce wasted chemicals.
- Comprehensive contents: The kit includes Winterizer, Winter Stain-Away, Chlorine Free Pool Shock-Oxidizer, a Winter Sorb and a slow-release Winter Pool Floater so most closing steps are covered.
- Surface-safe protection: The non-chlorine approach helps prevent staining or bleaching on vinyl and plaster pool finishes during storage.
- Effective oil control: The Winter Sorb absorbs oils efficiently to prevent waterline scum and keep surfaces cleaner over winter.
Who It's For
This kit is best for owners of above ground or in-ground saltwater pools up to 15,000 gallons who prefer a simple, pre-measured set of winter chemicals and a non-chlorine floater for shock-oxidation. It suits DIY closers who value clear instructions and want to avoid additional steps mixing multiple products.
Pool owners with much larger pools or those who prefer to use separate bulk chemicals for customized dosing may look elsewhere, and anyone who requires chlorine-based winterization should choose a different product matched to that approach.
