OUR POOL OPENING SERVICE INCLUDES:

  • Remove and store pool cover (tarp and safety covers)
  • Remove and store all winter plugs on suction and return lines
  • Re-install, prime, start and test filtration system for leaks or other issues (pool MUST be filled to mid-skimmer level)
  • Re-attach ladders, handrails, diving board and other deck accessories
  • Initial chlorine shock treatment
  • Test water chemistry and recommend chemical dosages to correct imbalances (chemicals sold separately)

IMPORTANT: Solid pool covers must be reasonably dry and free of debris prior to the technician’s arrival. Please text us a photo of your pool a few days before your opening appointment if you're unable to clear your cover and we can provide assistance for an additional charge.

Please make sure there's running water in the yard, your pool is filled to the normal operating level (mid-skimmer), and there's power to the pool equipment so we can start up and test the filtration system and other accessories such as heaters, heat pumps, and pool sanitization & automation systems. Follow-up visits are subject to a $59 charge.
