Pool Opening & Closing Services

Seasonal Pool Care Made Simple

Even in Southern California, some pool owners choose to close their pools during cooler months or when they will not be using them for extended periods. Maybe you travel frequently. Maybe you want to reduce maintenance costs during the off-season. Or maybe you are getting ready to reopen a pool that has been sitting unused.

Whether you need to properly close your pool for the winter or open it back up for summer swimming, we handle the entire process from start to finish. Our opening and closing services ensure your pool stays protected when not in use and comes back to life quickly when you are ready to swim again.

What Our Pool Closing Service Includes

Closing a pool correctly prevents damage and makes reopening much easier. Here is what we do when winterizing your pool:

• •Balance water chemistry to prevent algae growth and surface damage during closure
• •Lower water level to the appropriate height for your pool type
• •Thoroughly clean the pool including vacuuming, brushing, and skimming
• •Add winterizing chemicals to keep water clear and prevent staining
• •Blow out plumbing lines and add antifreeze where needed to prevent freeze damage
• •Remove and store pool accessories like ladders, skimmer baskets, and cleaners
• •Install a winter cover if you have one

What Our Pool Opening Service Includes

Opening your pool for the season is more involved than just removing a cover. We make sure everything is working properly before you jump in. Here is our pool opening process:

• •Remove and clean winter cover, inspect for damage
• •Reinstall all pool accessories and equipment
• •Refill pool to proper water level
• •Start up all equipment including pump, filter, and heater
• •Inspect equipment for any issues that developed during closure
• •Thoroughly clean the pool including vacuuming and brushing
• •Test and balance all water chemistry for safe swimming

If your pool has turned green over the winter, we can handle that too with our green pool treatment service.

Why Proper Opening and Closing Matters

Closing your pool incorrectly can lead to expensive damage. Frozen pipes, stained surfaces, and equipment failure are all preventable with proper winterization. Similarly, opening your pool the right way ensures you start the season with clear, balanced water instead of fighting algae and chemistry problems for weeks.

Once your pool is open for the season, many homeowners switch to our weekly pool maintenance service to keep it in perfect condition all summer long. And if you discover any equipment issues during opening, we can fix those too.
