    Menifee Pool Opening, Step by Step

    For property owners in the Menifee area, swim season starts as soon as you’d like it to. If you are willing to heat your swim space, it’s possible to throw back the winter cover and fire up your pumps and motors as soon as the end of March to early April. No matter when you want to start your season, a proper Menifee pool opening service can help you do it safely and efficiently. Ditch the basic test kit and call an expert for your pool maintenance and make the most out of the swim season.

    Over the course of the year, your pool system is up against a lot. The elements take their toll on the condition of both pool water, as well as structures and overall condition. After long periods of disuse, you are more than likely to find an unpleasant surprise when you pull off that pool cover. Cloudy water, algae blooms, discolouration and clogged filters are all common issues when re-opening a pool. Instead of struggling with DIY practices and risks to health and safety, have an expert open your pool.

    Seasonal Pool Care: Open Your Pool Right

    The key to a successful pool opening is a professional pool closing. These two processes work hand in hand to create a landscape of healthy swimming pools all year long. An important part of closing is to drop the water level below the skimmer opening to prevent water from entering into lines and freezing during cold snaps. When opening up again, this water level will need to be replaced. This can be done with a simple garden hose and once it is done, it is time to balance water chemistry.

    After long periods of disuse, your pool is likely suffering from at least some form of algae growth. Basic pool chemicals can help to maintain water condition when it is being regularly cared for but when conditions have worsened, more aggressive steps are needed to create a sanitary space. Algaecides, for example, are necessary to keep bacteria at bay and get rid of invasive growth.

    Cold weather can be rough on your system, both in the obvious areas and with the more subtle components. If there has been damage to your pump and filter, or a tear in the liner, it can lead to serious damage. Clogs within your system put added strain on circulation systems. The harder that your pool equipment has to work, the higher your utility bills become and the higher your costs for repair. When you remove the cover from your system, it is important to vacuum the pool bottom and skim the surface for any floating debris. This process helps to prevent permanent staining and reduces the risk of clogs.

    Menifee Pool Opening: Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I fill a pool during a water shortage in Menifee?

    Eastern Municipal Water District sets the shortage stages for Menifee. Its Water Shortage Contingency Plan says that at Stage 3a no variances or adjustments are allowed for filling swimming pools. Check EMWD water supply status before a large fill.

    When is pool season in Menifee?

    NOAA normals for the Elsinore station show average highs of 82.0 F in May, 90.2 F in June, 93.2 F in September and 83.1 F in October, against 65.0 to 67.1 F in December through February. The station averages about 9 nights a year at or below 32 F and 11.65 inches of precipitation, almost all November through March.

    What happens during a pool opening?

    The cover comes off and is cleaned and stored, winter plugs are removed and the equipment is reassembled and restarted. The water level is brought up and the system is run while the water is tested and balanced. Any damage found from the winter is reported at that point rather than discovered mid season.

    Will the water be swimmable the same day?

    Usually not immediately. Even a well closed pool needs the filtration running and the chemistry corrected before it is ready, and water that has sat all winter takes time to clear. Opening earlier in the season is what gives that process time to happen without cutting into swimming.

    Do I need an opening if I never closed the pool properly?

    If anything, yes. A pool that was left rather than closed tends to need more work at the start of the season, not less, because untreated standing water and equipment that was not drained are the two things that cause the most damage over winter. Mention it when you book so the right amount of time is set aside.

    We had a fountain issue at our home, and were referred to Puddle Pools. Jim and the Team were excellent to deal with, very communicative and customer service oriented. They addressed the issues made the repairs necessary and were very helpful. Much appreciated and great work !

    Victor Hoff ★★★★★

    Recently my brother died but while he was alive he let his pool turn to sheet. (He was invalid-ish.) I called Brett and despite the extensive repairs that were needed, he was able to restore the pool to it's former glory and his rates, given the needed repairs, were criminally low. But what impressed me most about him was that when I told him my realtor also knew a pool guy, he didn't try and strong arm me into making a decision on the spot or try to hard close. He said he understood that this was a big decision and that if he still needed his service, please just reach out. Now, I don't know what they call that in North Carolina, but in California, we call that a class act and I ended up going with him. I can't imagine ever using anyone else. Thanks, Brett! You and your team did an amazing job!
