Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to the most common questions about our pool construction, maintenance, and upgrade services.
Pools should typically be opened in spring once daytime temperatures consistently reach 60-70°F (usually April or May depending on your climate). Opening too early wastes energy on heating and filtration when it's still too cold to swim, while opening too late allows algae and bacteria to grow in warming water under winter covers. The ideal time is when temperatures are warming but before algae blooms become established. Professional pool opening includes removing and cleaning the winter cover, refilling the pool to proper levels, reconnecting equipment, starting up the filtration system, balancing water chemistry, and thoroughly cleaning all surfaces. Most pools require 24-48 hours after opening before they're swim-ready.
Pools should be professionally closed in fall before the first hard freeze, typically in September or October depending on your region. Closing too early means missing warm swimming days, while closing too late risks freeze damage to plumbing and equipment. The ideal time is when water temperatures drop consistently below 60°F and you're no longer using the pool. Professional closing includes balancing water chemistry with winterizing chemicals, lowering water levels appropriately, blowing out plumbing lines to prevent freeze damage, removing and storing equipment, installing the winter cover securely, and preparing the pool to withstand cold temperatures. Proper closing prevents costly freeze damage and makes spring opening much easier.
Most pool opening and closing services take 1-2 days to complete properly, though the exact timeline depends on pool size, condition, and any issues discovered. On the first day, our technicians perform the physical work of opening or closing—removing or installing covers, starting up or winterizing equipment, and initial cleaning or chemical treatment. For openings, the pool then needs 24-48 hours for chemicals to circulate and water to balance before final testing and swim clearance. For closings, equipment must be properly drained and winterized. Larger pools, those in poor condition, or pools with equipment problems may require additional time. We schedule these services in advance to ensure your pool is ready when you need it.
The good news is that our professional team handles the entire pool closing process for you—no preparation required on your part. When we arrive for your scheduled closing appointment, we bring all necessary equipment, tools, and chemicals to properly winterize your pool. This includes winterizing chemicals, antifreeze, cover installation materials, and specialized equipment for blowing out plumbing lines. We take care of draining equipment, treating water chemistry, securing covers, and protecting your investment for the winter season. All you need to do is ensure our team has access to the pool area on the scheduled day.
