Pool Opening & Closing Services

Preparing Your Pool for Every Season

In Union City, most pools stay open year-round because of our mild climate. But if you plan to close your pool for the winter or if it has been sitting idle for months, proper opening and closing procedures protect your pool from damage and make the transition easier. Skipping these steps can lead to cracked pipes, stained surfaces, algae blooms, and expensive repairs when you are ready to swim again.

Our pool opening and closing service in Union City handles all the technical work for you. We make sure your pool is properly winterized or perfectly swim-ready so you do not have to worry about forgotten steps or potential damage.

Pool Closing Service (Winterization)

If you decide to close your pool for the season, proper winterization prevents costly damage. Here is what we do:

• Thoroughly clean the pool including walls, floor, and skimmers
• Balance water chemistry to prevent staining and algae growth
• Lower water level below skimmer openings to prevent freeze damage
• Drain and blow out plumbing lines to remove standing water
• Add winterizing chemicals to keep water protected during closure
• Remove and store pool accessories like ladders and diving boards
• Install a winter cover to keep out debris and protect the surface

Proper winterization keeps your pool in good condition during the off-season. When spring arrives, you will have an easier time getting it swim-ready again.

Pool Opening Service (Spring Start-Up)

Opening a closed pool requires more than just filling it with water. We handle the entire process step by step:

• Remove and clean the winter cover before storing it properly
• Reinstall ladders, diving boards, and other pool accessories
• Refill the pool to the proper water level
• Reconnect and prime the pump and filtration system
• Inspect all equipment for damage or wear during the off-season
• Start circulation and run the filter to clear out stagnant water
• Test and balance water chemistry for safe swimming
• Brush and vacuum the pool to remove settled debris

If your pool has turned green during closure, we recommend our green pool treatment and algae removal service before opening. Once your pool is open and balanced, consider our weekly pool cleaning service to keep it in top condition all season long.

Do You Need to Close Your Pool in Union City?

Because of our mild climate, many Union City residents keep their pools open year-round. If you plan to keep using your pool during cooler months, regular maintenance is still important. Cooler water temperatures slow down algae growth, but debris still falls in and your filter still needs cleaning. We offer year-round maintenance plans that adjust to seasonal needs, so your pool is always ready when you want to swim.
