Commercial Pool Openings

Opening your commercial pool is something best left to trained professionals. Bringing it online the right way protects your investment, keeps guests safe, and helps everything run smoothly for the season ahead.

Industry best practices recommend opening as early as possible — it helps control costs, simplifies startup, and gives you more time to enjoy your limited pool season.

Save on Labor

To help avoid extra labor charges before your pool opening appointment, we kindly ask that you:

  • Make sure the pool area is accessible.

  • Remove any standing water from the top of your auto cover or tarp cover.

  • Raise the water level to the top of the skimmer faceplate so we can properly vacuum.

  • Have a garden hose connected and the water turned on at the spigot.

  • Turn on the breaker for the pool equipment.

  • Set out any leftover chemicals from last season (chlorine tablets, algaecide, clarifier, metal remover, salt bags, etc.).

  • Place skimmer baskets, backwash hose, handrails, winter cover bag, and ladders by the pool.
