Pool Opening & Closing Services

Getting Your Pool Ready for Swim Season

After months of sitting unused, your pool needs more than just removing the cover and turning on the pump. Opening your pool properly sets you up for a successful swim season with clear water and working equipment. Skip important steps, and you could spend weeks fighting algae or dealing with equipment problems that could have been prevented.

Our professional pool opening service in Victorville handles everything the right way from start to finish. You get a pool that is clean, balanced, and ready to swim in without spending your whole weekend on it. We have opened hundreds of pools in the Victorville area and know exactly what needs to be done.

What Our Pool Opening Service Includes

Here is what we do to get your pool summer-ready:

• Remove and clean pool cover if you have one
• Inspect cover for damage and store it properly
• Remove all winter debris from pool and deck
• Reinstall equipment that was removed for winter
• Check all equipment for proper operation
• Start up pump, filter, and heater systems
• Test and balance water chemistry completely
• Shock pool and add necessary chemicals
• Clean filter and baskets thoroughly
• Vacuum and brush entire pool
• Check for leaks or damage that occurred over winter

This complete process takes several hours but ensures everything is done correctly. You will know your pool is safe to swim in and all your equipment is working properly. If we find any issues during inspection, we will let you know right away so you can decide how to handle them.

Why Proper Pool Closing Matters

Even though Victorville winters are mild compared to other parts of the country, your pool still needs proper closing if you plan to not use it for several months. Maybe you travel during winter or just do not swim when it is cold. Either way, closing your pool correctly prevents problems.

Algae can grow year-round in our climate. Equipment left running unnecessarily wastes energy. Pipes can develop leaks if not properly maintained. Our pool closing service prepares everything for the off-season so you do not come back to a green swamp or damaged equipment. Many homeowners use our year-round weekly service instead, keeping their pool ready to use whenever the mood strikes.

Pool Closing Steps We Handle

When we close your pool for the season, we make sure it will be in good shape when you reopen it. We thoroughly clean the entire pool, balance water chemistry to prevent algae growth, lower water level if needed, add winterizing chemicals, remove and store equipment that should not stay out, cover the pool if you have a winter cover, and shut down systems properly to prevent damage.

This process protects your investment during months when you are not using the pool. It costs much less than dealing with a green pool full of dead leaves when you want to open it again. If you need equipment repairs during opening or closing, check out our repair service.

The Victorville Seasonal Advantage

One big advantage of living in Victorville is our mild winters. Unlike homeowners in colder climates who must completely winterize their pools, you have options. Some people keep their pools running at reduced levels all winter. Others shut them down completely. Some just reduce maintenance frequency.

We can help you decide what makes sense based on your situation. If you travel south for winter, full closing makes sense. If you are home but just do not swim, minimal maintenance might be better. If you have a heated spa attached to your pool, you might want to keep that running while shutting down the main pool. We will explain the pros and cons of each approach.
