Pool Opening & Closing Services

Getting Your Pool Ready for the Season

Opening and closing your pool properly are two of the most important tasks for protecting your investment and ensuring a successful swimming season. While Texas has milder winters than many parts of the country, seasonal pool care is still essential. Opening your pool correctly in spring gets you swimming faster and prevents problems. Closing your pool properly in fall protects your equipment and surfaces from damage during the cooler months.

Many homeowners try to handle pool opening and closing themselves, but these tasks involve more than just taking off the cover or adding chemicals. Proper opening and closing require careful inspection of equipment, thorough cleaning, precise chemical balancing, and attention to details that can make or break your season. Our team has the expertise and equipment to do the job right, saving you time and preventing costly mistakes.

We offer professional pool opening and closing services to homeowners in Princeton, Allen, McKinney, and the surrounding areas. Whether you use your pool year-round or only during the warm months, we can help you prepare for seasonal changes. Our customers appreciate the convenience and peace of mind that comes from knowing their pool was opened or closed by certified pool professionals.

What Our Pool Opening Service Includes

When we open your pool for the season, we perform a comprehensive set of tasks to get your pool swim-ready:

• Cover Removal and Cleaning: We remove your pool cover (if you have one), clean it, and store it properly for the off-season.
• Equipment Inspection and Startup: We inspect your pump, filter, heater, and other equipment for any damage that occurred during the off-season. We reconnect, prime, and start up all equipment.
• Debris Removal: We remove all leaves, dirt, and debris that accumulated during the off-season from the pool surface and bottom.
• Pool Cleaning: We brush all surfaces, vacuum the floor, clean the skimmer and pump baskets, and ensure your pool is spotless.
• Water Testing and Chemical Balancing: We test your water for pH, alkalinity, chlorine, calcium hardness, and other parameters, then add the necessary chemicals to bring everything into balance.
• Filter Cleaning: We clean or backwash your filter to ensure proper circulation and filtration.
• Final Inspection: We check that all systems are working properly and your pool is ready for swimming.

What Our Pool Closing Service Includes

When we close your pool for the season, we take steps to protect it during the cooler months:

• Deep Cleaning: We thoroughly clean your pool including brushing, vacuuming, skimming, and cleaning all baskets.
• Water Chemistry Adjustment: We balance your water chemistry and add winterizing chemicals to prevent algae growth and protect your pool surfaces.
• Equipment Shutdown and Winterization: We turn off and drain your pump, filter, heater, and other equipment. We blow out the plumbing lines to remove water and prevent freeze damage.
• Accessory Removal: We remove ladders, rails, diving boards, and other accessories that could be damaged by winter weather.
• Cover Installation: If you have a pool cover, we install it properly to keep debris out and protect your water.

Do Texas Pools Need to Be Closed?

In Texas, many pool owners keep their pools open year-round because our winters are mild. However, even if you do not fully close your pool, reducing your maintenance schedule during the cooler months can save money and protect your equipment. We can help you transition to a winter maintenance plan that keeps your pool in good condition without the full cost of weekly service.

If you do choose to fully close your pool for the season, we recommend scheduling your opening service in early spring so you are ready to swim as soon as the weather warms up. Many of our customers who use our seasonal services also sign up for weekly pool cleaning during the swimming season. This combination ensures your pool is always in perfect condition without the hassle of doing it yourself. If your pool needs attention beyond regular maintenance, we also offer equipment repair services.
