Prepare for your professional spring opening with these helpful tips
Ensure there's a clear path to your pool and pool equipment.
Clear any large branches, leaves or debris from the pool cover.
Have located and ready for re-installation any return eyeballs / jets, skimmer baskets, all pump filter and heater cogs / plugs, pool ladder, etc.
Ensure your pets are secured and all pet related waste removed from your yard.
We'll professionally remove all debris from the pool cover, gently scrub it before removing it from the pool, professionally fold it and roll it in preparation for pool closing in the fall.
Please note that the best storage for a winter pool cover is in a rubber storage tote or trash bin to prevent pest and rodent damage.
We'll reinstall all equipment and ensure proper operation.
We'll add starter chemicals to begin the balancing process: granulated chlorine, algicide if needed, stabilizer, and alkalinity.
Please note chemicals and testing will need to be updated within a week's time of filtering to complete the balancing process. This follow-up visit is available at additional cost.
