When winter comes to an end, it’s almost time to open your pool! However, it requires proper preparation before it is ready to be used. Pool opening involves a thorough start-up procedure designed to protect your pool surface, pool equipment, and water quality all season long. Net Positive Pools offers professional pool start-up services for pool owners in Greenville who are ready to get back to enjoying their pool.

Getting Your Water Chemistry Right

Proper water chemistry is the foundation of a healthy swimming pool. Our technicians use professional test kits and calculate precise chemical adjustments based on the total gallons of water in your pool. We measure chlorine levels, total alkalinity, pH levels, and cyanuric acid to catch issues like high pH before they cause damage. Based on these results, we fine-tune our services to protect your pool finish and maintain proper chemical balance.

For salt water pool owners, we also inspect and clean the salt cell filtration system twice per year to verify that chlorine generation is working correctly.

Cleaning Your Pool

Our pool start-up cleaning service begins with removing covers, clearing out debris, and restoring the water level to where it should be. We brush pool walls, steps, and tile to eliminate algae and any residue that accumulated during the off-season. We also check the pool filter to confirm water circulation is working the way it should. Our technicians focus on every detail to make sure your pool is ready for you and your family.

Pool Equipment Inspection

Pool start-up is the ideal time to examine your pool equipment. Our technicians evaluate your pool pump, filters, heaters, salt systems, and automation controls.

A malfunctioning pool pump or motor problems can disrupt water circulation and lead to bigger pool problems down the road. Catching worn pool pump parts, visible leaks, or a struggling pool pump motor early helps you avoid unexpected breakdowns when you need your pool most.

Our team thoroughly inspects each piece of equipment and provides a clear summary of what we find. If pump replacement, pool pump repair, motor repair, or upgrades make sense, we can help with recommendations.
