    Washington UT Pool Opening: Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does a pool opening cost in Washington UT?

    A pool opening starts at $400, or from $500 for a pool with an attached spa. Your quote confirms the price for your pool.

    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.

    Will I get a report after the opening?

    Yes. You receive a digital report showing your equipment is running, with photos and the initial water readings.

    When should a pool be opened for the season?

    Earlier than most people expect. Once daytime temperatures rise consistently, algae starts growing under the cover whether the pool is open or not, and a pool opened after that has begun is more work to clear than one opened before. Opening before you intend to swim also leaves time to deal with anything the winter has damaged.
