If you want to open your pool soon, now is the time to give us a call.
How to open your swimming pool
What happens during a swimming pool season opening? Here are a few items that a pool contractor does: 
- Removes the winter cover. Standing water will be pumped off prior to removal
- Cover is cleaned and you will need to have somewhere to store it for the season — unless it is the cover you use year-round.
- Water levels will be brought up to the proper depth (water was drained for the winter)
- Winterizing items and components will be removed
- Pool filter system and the pump will be primed
- The pool will be inspected for leaks and he will inspect the pool structure
- All equipment will be inspected and reinstalled
- The pool walls and floor will be brushed and the pool vacuumed
- Chemicals levels will be tested. Chemicals will be added to bring the chemicals up to the proper levels
- Once the pool is open and chemicals added you will need to run the pump for up to twelve hours to circulate the chemicals
- The water will be tested again
Then it’s “everybody into the pool!” If you’re a new swimming pool owner and have questions about the benefits of working with a swimming pool service contractor, give us a call and we will schedule a site visit and answer your questions.
