Pool Opening & Closing Services

Why Seasonal Pool Service Matters in California

You might think California pools do not need seasonal opening and closing since our winters are mild. But even in Lakewood, your pool benefits from proper seasonal preparation. The cooler months when you are not swimming regularly are the perfect time to give your pool extra protection and maintenance. Proper closing saves money on chemicals and utilities during months you are not using the pool. And professional opening in spring ensures you start the swim season right instead of dealing with green water and equipment problems.

Many pool owners reduce service frequency or stop regular maintenance completely during winter months. This can lead to algae problems, stained surfaces, and equipment damage from neglect. Our seasonal closing service prepares your pool for minimal use while keeping it protected. Then when warmer weather returns, our opening service gets everything running perfectly so your pool is ready the moment you want to swim again.

Complete Pool Closing Service for Winter

Properly closing your pool for winter does more than just cover it up. We perform a thorough process that protects your pool surfaces, equipment, and water quality during months of reduced use. Our professional pool closing includes:

• •Deep cleaning of the entire pool, walls, floor, and tile line
• •Complete water chemistry balancing with winterizing chemicals
• •Equipment inspection and winterization to prevent damage
• •Filter cleaning and maintenance for optimal performance when reopening
• •Algaecide treatment to prevent growth during low-maintenance months
• •Safety cover installation or winter cover setup if needed
• •Reduced chemical and maintenance schedule recommendations

Spring Pool Opening for Swim Season

When spring arrives and you are ready to start swimming again, proper opening service ensures your pool is clean, safe, and fully functional. We remove winter covers, restart all equipment, and address any issues that developed during the off-season. This prevents the frustrating situation where you want to swim but your pool needs days or weeks of work first.

Our opening service includes complete equipment startup and testing to catch problems early before they become expensive. We thoroughly clean any debris or buildup from winter, shock the water to eliminate dormant algae, and balance all chemistry for immediate use. We also check your filter, pump, heater, and automation systems to ensure everything runs smoothly. By the time we finish, your pool is crystal clear and ready for that first swim of the season.

Protecting Your Investment Year-Round

Professional seasonal service does more than just prepare your pool for use or non-use. It protects your significant investment in pool equipment and surfaces. Equipment that sits idle for months without proper winterization can develop problems. Seals dry out, parts corrode, and debris clogs systems. Water that goes untreated during winter can stain plaster, etch tile, and harbor bacteria that are hard to eliminate later.

The money you spend on opening and closing service pays for itself through lower chemical costs, prevented repairs, and extended equipment life. You also save the time and hassle of doing it yourself, which many people start with good intentions but never quite complete properly. We bring the knowledge, equipment, and products needed to do the job right.

Many of our Lakewood customers combine seasonal service with our weekly maintenance program during swim season. This gives you year-round protection with more frequent service when you use the pool and professional seasonal transitions. We also recommend adding comprehensive inspections during opening and closing to catch any developing issues.
