Pool Opening & Closing Services

Why Proper Pool Opening and Closing Matters

Even in Texas, pools need seasonal care. Opening your pool correctly in spring means clean water and working equipment when you are ready to swim. Closing it properly in winter protects your investment from freeze damage and algae growth. Skipping these steps leads to expensive repairs, cloudy water, and hours of work fixing problems that could have been prevented.

We handle pool opening and closing for homeowners in Farmers Branch who want it done right the first time. Our technicians know exactly what to check, clean, and adjust to keep your pool in top condition year-round. You do not have to worry about missing a step or making a costly mistake. We take care of everything so your pool is ready when you need it.

Our Pool Opening Service

Spring is when your pool comes back to life. Here is what we do during a professional pool opening:

• Remove the pool cover and clean it for storage
• Reconnect and restart all pool equipment (pump, filter, heater, chlorinator)
• Inspect equipment for damage or wear that happened during the off-season
• Remove debris from the pool and clean the skimmer baskets
• Brush and vacuum the pool to remove dirt and algae
• Test water chemistry and balance pH, alkalinity, chlorine, and calcium hardness
• Shock the pool to kill any bacteria or algae spores
• Run the system for several hours to circulate chemicals and ensure everything works

After we finish, your pool is clean, balanced, and ready to swim. If we find any equipment problems, we let you know right away and can handle pool equipment repairs on the spot or schedule a follow-up visit.

Our Pool Closing Service

Winterizing your pool protects it from cold weather damage and keeps it clean during the months you are not using it. Here is our pool closing process:

• Balance water chemistry to prevent scale, corrosion, and algae growth
• Add winterizing chemicals designed for long-term protection
• Lower the water level below the skimmer to prevent freeze damage
• Blow out plumbing lines to remove water and prevent pipe bursts
• Drain and winterize pool equipment (pump, filter, heater, chlorinator)
• Install winterizing plugs in skimmers and returns
• Clean and install the pool cover securely

Proper winterization prevents thousands of dollars in freeze damage. Even in Farmers Branch, we get cold snaps that can crack pipes, damage pumps, and ruin heaters. Our closing service gives you peace of mind that your pool is protected all winter long. When spring arrives, sign up for our weekly pool cleaning service to keep it in perfect condition all season.
