Our Proven Pool Opening Process
Our comprehensive pool opening process is designed to be efficient and effective, covering every aspect of opening. We follow a strict protocol developed over years of experience to ensure nothing is overlooked. This systematic approach guarantees your pool is not only open but also operating at its best.
- Initial Inspection & Cover Removal: We begin by assessing your pool's condition and carefully performing cover removal, cleaning it if necessary, and storing it properly. This protects your cover from damage and extends its life.
- Equipment Inspection & System Startup: Our technicians conduct a detailed equipment inspection, checking pumps, filters, heaters and chlorinators for any winter damage or wear. We then proceed with a careful system startup, priming your pump and ensuring all components are functioning correctly.
- Plumbing & Accessory Reconnection: All vital plumbing lines are reconnected, and accessories like skimmer baskets, return fittings, and diving boards are reinstalled. We check for leaks and ensure secure connections.
- Initial Shock Treatment & Water Balancing: A crucial step is the initial shock treatment to kill dormant algae and bacteria. Following this, we perform initial water testing and balancing, adjusting pH, alkalinity and calcium hardness levels for safe swimming.
- Surface Cleaning & Vacuuming: We remove any debris that accumulated over winter, clean your pool's walls, and vacuum the floor, leaving your pool sparkling clean.
- Final System Check: Before we leave, a final check of all systems confirms optimal operation, setting your pool up for a healthy and enjoyable season.
