Pool Opening and Closing Services

Pool Opening and Closing Services

Well here we are in the middle of another year. It’s the middle of a glorious summer too, so if you have a swimming pool, you may already know what it takes to keep it sparkling clean and fresh during the swimming season. You will also be aware of the required maintenance for your particular pool.

Sadly, at some point at the end of summer or in the early fall, water fun will come to an end as the pool must be closed for the winter.

And, the truth is, the better the job of closing that is done, the easier opening will be! If you are used to doing these tasks yourself, you may already know what is required to do a thorough job.

For the uninitiated, and as a reminder to the rest of us, let’s take a look at the minimum that is required for the proper opening and closing of a swimming pool.

OPENING

Step 1: Clean the pool and look for damage.
Step 2: Take stock of your pool chemicals.
Step 3: Take off the cover and put it away.
Step 4: Do a visual inspection of the pool to identify any damage.
Step 5: Fill the pool up to the tile in the middle of the waterline and clean up any last bits of debris.
Step 6: Start the filter and check the water.
Step 7: Keep the chemicals in the pool balanced all season.

CLOSING

STEP 1: Clean out any debris and scum from the pool and the immediate area.
STEP 2: Check the water and make sure the chemical balance is right.
STEP 3: Add chemicals and winterizing add-ons to the pool as required.
STEP 4: Add chlorine and shock your pool.
STEP 5: Bring the water level down in the pool.
STEP 6: Clean the pool’s filter and pump and backwash the system.
STEP 7: Clean out the lines of the pool pump.
STEP 8: Take all pool accessories out of the pool, clean, dry, and put them away.
STEP 9: Put on a winter pool cover.

Are We Done Yet?

Phew! That’s a lot. Even for seasoned DIYers, the learning curve can be steep. The time and effort required adds up too. If you haven’t done so already, take a look at some reasons why you might want to hand these tasks over to a professional.
