Our Seasonal Opening Service

The opening of your pool is a crucial step in getting your pool ready for months of enjoyment. Our expert team ensures your pool is properly prepared, chemically balanced, and safe for use. Here’s what our Seasonal Pool Opening Service includes:

Cleaning and Debris Removal

We start by removing any debris that has accumulated on your pool cover, as well as any leaves, twigs, and dirt that may have settled in the pool during the off-season. We will also:

  • Remove the winter cover: Carefully remove and fold away your pool cover for storage.

  • Skim the pool surface: Remove any remaining debris from the water surface using nets and tools.

  • Vacuum the pool floor: Thoroughly vacuum the pool floor to ensure all dirt, leaves, and other debris are removed.

Equipment Setup & Inspection

We inspect and set up your pool’s equipment to make sure everything is functioning properly. This includes:

  • Reinstalling the pump and filter: We check the operation of the pump, filter, and heater to ensure everything is in working order.

  • Checking water circulation: We make sure the system is circulating water properly for optimal filtration and cleanliness.

  • Reconnecting any equipment: If anything was disconnected during the winter, we’ll reconnect it, ensuring everything is safe and operational.

Water Balancing

We test and adjust your pool’s water chemistry to ensure it’s balanced and safe for swimming. This includes:

  • Chlorine levels: We make sure the sanitizer levels are perfect to prevent bacteria growth and ensure crystal-clear water.

  • pH and alkalinity: We adjust pH and alkalinity levels for optimal comfort and safety in the pool.

  • Calcium hardness: We ensure the calcium hardness is balanced to protect your pool’s surface and equipment.

Pool Cover Removal

If you have a solid winter cover or mesh cover, we’ll remove it and fold it away for storage. We inspect the cover for any signs of damage and offer repairs or replacement options if necessary.

Final Inspection & Pool Test

Before you jump in and start enjoying your pool, we do a final inspection to ensure everything is in working order. This includes:

  • Testing the filtration system: Ensuring that the pool pump, filter, and heater are all functioning properly.

  • Checking the safety features: We ensure that the ladders, gates, and other safety equipment are secure and operational.

  • Cleaning the pool: We perform any last-minute cleaning tasks to ensure your pool is sparkling clean and ready to use.

Once your pool is open, we will leave you with a complete water analysis and a schedule for regular maintenance, so you’re set for the entire season.

Our Seasonal Closing Service

Closing your pool at the end of the season is just as important as opening it. A well-executed pool closing ensures that your pool is properly winterized, protected from freezing temperatures, and ready for a smooth reopening when the time comes. 

 

Thorough Cleaning & Debris Removal

We start by thoroughly cleaning your pool to prepare it for winter:

  • Vacuuming: We vacuum the pool’s floor to remove any remaining debris and dirt.

  • Skimming: We remove any floating debris from the surface.

  • Cleaning the filter: We clean the pool’s filter to ensure that it’s ready for winter storage.

Water Chemistry Adjustment

Before closing your pool, we adjust the water chemistry to protect the pool and equipment over the winter:

  • Balancing pH, alkalinity, and calcium levels: Ensuring the right balance will help protect the pool’s surface and prevent staining.

  • Algae Prevention: We add an algaecide to prevent algae from growing during the off-season.

  • Winterizing chemicals: We use special winterizing chemicals to protect the pool water and keep it clear during the colder months.

Equipment Protection

We take steps to ensure that your pool’s equipment is protected from freezing and winter damage:

  • Draining and storing equipment: We remove and store equipment such as ladders, hoses, and skimmers to keep them safe from the elements.

  • Blowing out the plumbing: We blow out the water from the pool’s plumbing to prevent any freezing or pipe bursts.

  • Winterizing the pump and filter: We winterize the pump, filter, and heater to protect them from freezing temperatures.

Pool Covering & Securing

We ensure your pool is safely covered to keep out debris and prevent any potential accidents:

  • Installing the cover: We carefully install a winter cover over your pool to protect it from the elements.

  • Sealing off the pool: We ensure that all areas of the pool are sealed off and protected.

Final Inspection & Documentation

Before we finish, we conduct a final inspection to make sure everything is properly closed and secure. We’ll provide you with a summary of the work completed and leave you with a maintenance guide for when it’s time to reopen the pool next season.

FAQs

1. When should I schedule my pool opening?
We recommend scheduling your pool opening in the early spring, as soon as temperatures consistently rise above 60°F (15°C). This ensures that your pool is ready for use before the summer heat hits.

2. When should I schedule my pool closing?
It’s best to schedule your pool closing after the weather has consistently cooled down, usually in the fall. This will protect your pool from winter weather and ensure that it’s properly prepared for the off-season.

3. Can you help with pool openings and closings for all pool types?
Yes! Whether you have a concrete, fiberglass, or vinyl pool, we have the experience and knowledge to handle the opening and closing for all pool types.
