Opening Your Pool with Precision and Care
The Art of Complete Pool Care
Your pool should be the easiest part of your property. We keep it that way through dependable care and consistent service year after year.
Professional Pool Opening and Closing Services
Starting and ending your pool season the right way makes everything in between easier. A proper spring opening gets your pool ready to swim in days, not weeks. A proper fall closing protects your investment through NJ’s cold winters and reduces the work needed to open next spring.
Gorlin Pools has been providing expert pool maintenance service while handling pool openings and closings for New Jersey homeowners since 1999 — we make the seasonal transitions smooth and stress-free.
What Our Opening Service Includes
Our pool cover opening service takes care of everything—from safely removing and cleaning your cover to checking your pool’s condition—so you can enjoy a stress-free start to the season.
Winter Closing Service
Get peace of mind before the temperatures drop. Our team will properly prepare your pool for winter—cleaning, balancing, and covering it with care—so you can rest easy knowing everything is sealed, safe, and ready for spring.

What's included in a pool opening?
Our spring opening covers cover removal, equipment reconnection, blowing out winter plugs, system startup, inspection for winter damage, and initial water chemistry testing and balancing.
When should I open my pool in NJ?
Late April to mid-May is ideal for most NJ pools. Opening before water temps hit 60°F makes algae prevention easier and gets you swimming sooner.
What's included in a pool closing?
Our fall closing covers final chemistry treatment, water lowering, plumbing blowout and antifreeze, equipment draining, accessory removal, and cover installation.
When should I close my pool in NJ?
Late September to mid-October is the typical window. Aim for when nighttime temps consistently drop below 60°F. Closing too early encourages algae; closing too late risks freeze damage to plumbing.
Can you do openings and closings same-year?
Yes — many of our maintenance clients book both as part of their annual service schedule. It’s the most convenient way to handle both ends of the season.
