Pool Opening & Closing Services
Seasonal pool opening and closing services to protect your investment year-round.
Professional Pool Opening and Closing
While Costa Mesa enjoys mild weather year-round compared to other parts of the country, many homeowners still choose to close their pools during the cooler months or when they'll be away for extended periods. Proper pool opening and closing protects your equipment, prevents algae growth, and saves money on chemicals and energy when you're not using your pool.
Opening and closing a pool correctly requires more than just turning equipment on and off. There are specific steps that must be followed to prevent damage and ensure your pool is ready to use safely. Skipping steps or doing things in the wrong order can lead to expensive repairs, green water, or equipment failures. Our professional service takes the guesswork out of seasonal transitions.
We've been helping Costa Mesa pool owners with seasonal maintenance since 2024. Whether you're preparing your pool for summer swimming or winterizing it for the off-season, we handle everything properly. Combined with our regular pool maintenance service during active months, your pool will stay in perfect condition year-round.
Pool Opening Service
Getting your pool ready for swimming season ensures everything works properly and the water is safe. Here's what we do when opening your pool:
- •Remove and clean pool cover, then store it properly to extend its life
- •Reinstall any equipment or accessories that were removed for winter storage
- •Inspect all equipment for damage or issues that occurred during closure
- •Start up pump, filter, heater, and all other pool systems
- •Remove debris and clean pool surfaces thoroughly
- •Test and balance all water chemistry parameters
- •Shock the pool to eliminate any bacteria or contaminants
- •Run equipment through complete cycles to ensure proper operation
- •Check for leaks, cracks, or other issues that need attention
After opening, your pool usually needs a few days of circulation and settling before it's ready to swim in. We'll let you know exactly when you can safely use your pool. If we find any equipment problems during the opening, our repair service can fix them quickly. For pools that need extra attention after being closed, we also offer deep cleaning services.
Pool Closing Service
Properly closing your pool for the off-season or extended absence prevents problems and makes reopening easier. Here's our closing process:
- •Deep clean the entire pool including brushing, vacuuming, and skimming
- •Balance water chemistry to prevent scale and algae during closure
- •Add winterizing chemicals to protect water quality during dormancy
- •Lower water level to appropriate height below skimmers and returns
- •Blow out and plug all plumbing lines to prevent freeze damage
- •Remove and store pump baskets, skimmer baskets, and other removable items
- •Winterize and protect all equipment including pumps, filters, and heaters
- •Install safety cover securely to keep debris out and prevent accidents
- •Document everything so we know the pool's condition when reopening
Even though Costa Mesa has mild winters, proper closing is still important if you won't be maintaining your pool. It prevents algae, protects equipment, and reduces chemical usage. When you're ready to open again, we'll have your pool swimming-ready in just a few days.
