OUR IN-GROUND POOL-OPENING SERVICE
- Proper pool opening is not merely an event; it is a comprehensive process. Our pool-opening service encompasses:
- Uncovering the pool: The initial step in any seasonal opening involves removing the pool cover. Ensuring the covers are removed without causing damage and stored appropriately will prolong their lifespan for future seasons.
- Preparing the water or drain line, and removing plugs: During the off-season, your pool's lines may have incurred damage. It is common to observe lines that have fractured or split. As part of this service, we will scrutinize your pool's lines for any indications of damage. Additionally, we will eliminate plugs to ensure all your pool lines are primed for the system to operate again.
- Inspecting the pool and equipment for visible damage: We will assess the structure, liner, filter pump, and other equipment to verify their optimal functioning. Our technicians are adept at identifying wear and tear and can provide supplementary services to repair or replace any damaged components.
- Cleaning the pool: We will eliminate any debris and skim the pool to rid it of leaves, insects, and other contaminants.
- Balancing pool water chemistry: To ensure the safety of your pool for use, we will assess your pool's chemical levels, focusing primarily on pH, total alkalinity, and calcium hardness. Adjustments will be made as necessary.

When is the optimal time to open a pool?
We recommend initiating the pool opening for the season once the air temperature consistently reaches 70 degrees or higher. Opening the pool prematurely exposes it to late storms and pollen, while delaying the opening may result in increased algae growth and a more challenging opening process.
Why does my pool exhibit a green hue after the winter?
A green tint in your pool water indicates the presence of algae growth. Over the off-season, your pool's chemical equilibrium may have been disrupted. Consequently, the chemicals that combat algae may have decreased to levels insufficient to impede its growth.
What is encompassed in a pool-opening service?
Our pool opening service covers the fundamental tasks, including pool-cover removal, basic cleaning, and chemical adjustment. We provide pre-season maintenance to address any additional pool issues.
How much does it cost to open a pool?
The costs of pool-opening services vary depending on the pool size, type, and location. Additional charges may apply for repair and replacement services.
Pool Closing Services
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF CLOSING YOUR POOL
Closing a pool has many advantages, the main one being that it makes the spring opening of the pool go more smoothly. A proper pool closure procedure will simplify the opening process, regardless of whether you decide to use our pool closing services or conduct the closure yourself. In order to ensure cleaner water throughout the off-season, we remove material during the closing procedure that can encourage the formation of algae.
WHEN TO CLOSE YOUR POOL
When the weather cools off or the leaves begin to fall, we advise closing your pool. A build-up of leaves in your pool can result in a number of problems, including clogged filtration. When the water hits 55 degrees, that's the best time to close the pool.
ESSENTIALS FOR CLOSING A POOL
A pool vacuum, chemicals to regulate pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness, a skimmer net, a winter pool cover, and algaecide are all necessary for a successful pool closure. Professionals that specialize in pool closing have all the equipment and chemicals needed to close your pool and can assist with installing a winter pool cover, saving you the time and trouble of finding the materials on your own.

What should the chlorine level be when closing a pool?
At pool closing, the water should maintain a chlorine level of 1-3 ppm and a pH between 7.2 and 7.6. Since the filter will be inactive, your pool's water chemistry will play a crucial role in maintaining water cleanliness during the off-season.
Is shocking the pool before closing necessary?
Shocking your pool a few days before pool closing is advisable to eliminate any bacteria or germs in the water. However, refrain from immediately closing the pool after shocking; allow the chlorine levels to normalize.
Should the pool be cleaned before closing?
It is imperative to clean your pool before closing, whether by your own efforts or with professional assistance. Any debris, organic or otherwise, left in the water can foster algae growth over the off-season, resulting in a dirtier pool in spring and a more challenging opening process.
Is closing the pool independently recommended?
While closing a pool for winter is a task that can be managed independently, engaging professionals ensures a properly closed pool without concerns about potential oversights. Closing a pool involves more than merely covering it and hoping for the best. Unless you are relocating or do not intend to use the pool, closing should be viewed as groundwork for a seamless spring opening. Professionals with comprehensive training in the entire process guarantee that the job is executed correctly on the first attempt.
