Balancing Your Pool’s Water Chemistry
If your pool is properly balanced, your water should not have an odor from the pool chemicals in the water. During pool start-up, our technicians use professional test kits and precise chemical measurements based on the size of your pool in gallons. This includes checking chlorine levels, total alkalinity, pH levels, and cya levels to avoid high pH and other issues. Based on the results, we adjust your pool water to protect your pool finish and avoid chemistry issues like high pH.
If your pool is a saltwater pool, we inspect and clean the salt cell filtration system twice a year. Salt systems require attention during start-up to prevent buildup and water quality issues.
Hilton Head Pool Cleaning
Opening a pool in Hilton Head often means dealing with debris, leaves, and buildup from the off-season. During our pool start-up cleaning service, we remove covers, clear debris, and bring the water level back to the proper range. Pool walls, steps, and tile are brushed to remove algae and residue. We also inspect the pool filter to make sure water can circulate properly.
Pool Equipment
Start-up is a great time to inspect pool supplies before the swimming season begins. Our technicians check pumps, filters, heaters, salt systems, and automation controls to confirm everything is working as it should.
If you have a new pool, recently upgraded equipment, or have experienced pool problems in the past, don’t worry! We take the time to walk through our entire process with you. We can identify issues like worn parts or leaks early, which helps avoid breakdowns later in the season.
We also assist with equipment recommendations if replacements or upgrades are needed. As a trusted provider in Hilton Head, we help pool owners make informed decisions that fit their pool and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I open my pool?
Open the pool for the season when the weather consistently reaches above 70°F (21°C) to prevent water from being too cold for comfortable swimming and to reduce the risk of algae growth.
What chemicals are needed to open my pool?
To open your pool, you’ll typically need chemicals like chlorine shock to kill bacteria and algae, algaecide to prevent algae growth, pH increaser or decreaser to balance pH levels, and a pool stabilizer to protect chlorine from sunlight degradation. We offer these chemical kits in our service so you don’t have to store chemicals.
Do you offer chlorine as well as saltwater pool opening services?
Yes! We offer start-up services to both saltwater and chlorinated pools. For more information on saltwater maintenance, check out our blog.
