Our Proven Pool Opening Process

Our comprehensive pool opening process is designed to cover every detail, ensuring your pool system is functioning perfectly and your water is sparkling clean. We follow a systematic approach to guarantee efficiency and thoroughness. This detailed method prevents common issues and extends the life of your pool equipment.

Pool Cover Removal: We carefully remove, clean and fold your winter cover, storing it securely. This crucial first step prevents debris from entering your pool.
Summer De-winterizing: This involves removing all winterization plugs and re-installing essential pool components like skimmer baskets and drain plugs. It's the technical term for getting your pool ready to circulate water again.
System Startup & Equipment Inspection: Our technicians will reassemble and check your pump, filter, heater and other pool equipment. We inspect for any wear or damage that occurred over winter.
Initial Shock Treatment: We add a powerful dose of chlorine to sanitize the water and kill off any algae or bacteria that may have grown during winter. This is a critical step for clear, safe water.
Chemical Balancing: After the shock treatment, we test and adjust your pool's pH, alkalinity and calcium hardness to ideal levels. Balanced water is safer for swimmers and protects your pool's surfaces and equipment.

Newark Pool Opening: Frequently Asked Questions

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.

What should I do before the technician arrives?

Clear access to the pool and the equipment and move anything stored on or against the cover. Make sure the power supply to the pump and heater is on. If you know something went wrong last season or over the winter, mention it when booking rather than at the visit.

What happens to my winter cover?

It is removed carefully, cleaned and folded so it is preserved properly for next winter.

Why does the water look green or cloudy when the cover comes off?

Water that has sat under a cover all winter often has some algae and debris in it, even after a good closing. The opening shock and balancing start clearing it, and the filtration finishes the job over the following days.
