Atlanta's climate presents unique challenges when it comes to pool opening. The sudden shifts from cool spring days to sweltering summer heat can catch homeowners off guard. Furthermore, the infamous Atlanta pollen season can quickly turn a clean pool green if not properly addressed from day one.

These issues not only delay your swimming enjoyment but can also lead to more significant, costly repairs down the line. Improper pool opening or an oversight during equipment inspection can cause serious damage.

De-winterizing is the process of reversing all the steps taken to prepare your pool for winter. This includes removing winterizing plugs from plumbing lines, re-installing essential pool components like skimmer baskets and return eyeballs, and reactivating the filtration system. It's a precise process to prevent leaks and ensure water flow.
System startup involves carefully re-engaging your pool's various operational components. This includes priming and starting the pump, checking the filter pressure, and ensuring heaters, salt chlorinators, or automated cleaning systems are functioning correctly. It's crucial to look for proper water circulation and listen for unusual noises.
After being closed for months, pool water often harbors dormant algae and bacteria. An initial shock treatment involves adding a concentrated dose of chlorine or a non-chlorine oxidizer to rapidly kill these contaminants, effectively sanitizing the water. This step is vital for achieving clear, safe water from the start.
This goes beyond a quick look. Our equipment inspection involves checking the pump motor and seals, filter grids or cartridges, heater elements, and salt cells. We look for cracks in plumbing, frayed electrical wiring, and any signs of wear that could lead to breakdowns. Early detection prevents major issues.

There is no official residential opening date, but NOAA normals show average highs of 81.1 F in May and 87.1 to 90.1 F from June through August.
