Pool Opening & Closing Services

Seasonal Pool Care Done Right

While Milpitas enjoys mild weather year-round, many pool owners still prefer to close their pools during cooler months or open them fresh for summer. Whether you are winterizing to save on maintenance costs, preparing for extended travel, or getting ready for swimming season, proper opening and closing procedures protect your pool and equipment.

Improper closing can lead to algae growth, equipment damage from freezing, stained surfaces, and expensive spring repairs. Similarly, incorrect opening procedures waste time and money while leaving you with cloudy, unbalanced water. We take the guesswork out of seasonal transitions with professional service that ensures your pool is properly protected or ready to enjoy.

Our technicians follow detailed checklists for both opening and closing. We handle every step correctly so you can relax knowing your pool is in expert hands.

Our Pool Closing Service

Closing your pool properly prevents damage and makes spring opening much easier. Here is what we do:

• Thorough cleaning including vacuuming, brushing, and skimming
• Water chemistry balancing to prevent staining and algae
• Adding winterizing chemicals for long-term protection
• Lowering water level to proper height (if needed)
• Draining and blowing out plumbing lines to prevent freeze damage
• Removing and storing ladder, diving board, and accessories
• Cleaning and storing pool equipment properly
• Installing winter cover securely to keep debris out
• Final inspection to ensure everything is protected

Even though Milpitas rarely experiences freezing temperatures, proper closing prevents algae blooms, protects equipment, keeps debris out, and saves you maintenance costs during months when you are not swimming.

If your pool is already showing signs of neglect before closing, we recommend our deep cleaning service first to ensure you are not covering up problems that will worsen over winter.

Our Pool Opening Service

Spring pool opening requires careful attention to detail. We make sure your pool is crystal clear and ready for swimmers. Our opening service includes:

• Removing and cleaning winter cover for storage
• Reconnecting and inspecting all equipment
• Filling pool to proper operating level
• Starting up pump, filter, and circulation system
• Thorough removal of winter debris and sediment
• Brushing walls, steps, and floors completely
• Vacuuming and deep cleaning entire pool
• Testing water chemistry and adding balancing chemicals
• Shocking pool to establish proper sanitizer levels
• Running equipment to ensure everything operates correctly

We do not just pull off the cover and dump in chemicals. We take time to inspect your pool and equipment thoroughly, identifying any issues that developed over winter. This preventive approach catches small problems before they become expensive repairs.

If we discover green water or heavy algae growth during opening, we will treat it with our specialized algae removal service. For equipment issues, we offer professional repair services.
