Pool Opening Service in Hilton Head

After the cooler months, your swimming pool needs attention before it is ready for use again. Pool start-up is more than removing a cover and turning on the pump. It is a detailed start-up procedure that helps protect your pool surface, equipment, and water quality from the start of the season.

For many pool owners, especially first-time pool owners, having an experienced local dealer handle the pool start-up process makes all the difference. Net Positive Pools provides professional pool start-up services for Hilton Head pool owners who want a smooth, stress-free pool opening. Our team prepares your pool or hot tub so you can enjoy clean water and fewer pool problems as temperatures rise.

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.

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.

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.
