Pool Opening Service

The best time for some much-needed pool care is right after the winter months. Just like a pool closing in the fall, certain steps need to be taken to maintain the safety and look of your inground pool. Our team offers a comprehensive start-up service to prepare your swimming pool for the summer season ahead.

Balancing Water Chemistry

If your pool is properly balanced, your water should not have an odor from the pool chemicals in the water. Proper pool water chemistry will look crystal clear, and feel incredibly clean. The salt cell filtration equipment has to be serviced regularly to ensure that it is clear of build-up and working correctly; we offer this service twice a year.

Frequently Asked Questions

When to open the 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. Of course, we offer this 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 kinds of pools, read more about saltwater maintenance in our blog here.
