    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.
