Pool Opening & Closing Services

Seasonal Transitions Made Simple

Even in Southern California where the weather stays warm most of the year, many pool owners close their pools for a few months or reduce usage during cooler seasons. Whether you are preparing your pool for winter or getting it ready for summer swim season, proper opening and closing makes a huge difference in your water quality and equipment longevity.

Opening or closing a pool the right way takes time and know-how. Skip steps or do it wrong, and you end up with problems like green water, damaged equipment, or expensive repairs. Our team in Pico Rivera handles the entire process so you can enjoy your pool when you want it and protect it when you do not.

Pool Opening Service

Getting your pool ready for swim season means more than just taking off the cover. We make sure everything is clean, balanced, and working properly before you dive in. Here is what we do during a pool opening:

• Remove and clean pool cover then store it properly for next season
• Reconnect and prime pump to restore circulation
• Inspect all equipment including filter, heater, and automation systems
• Remove winter debris from water surface and pool floor
• Brush walls and vacuum thoroughly to remove settled dirt
• Test and balance water chemistry to safe swimming levels
• Shock the pool to eliminate any bacteria or algae growth
• Run full system check to ensure everything operates correctly

After we finish, your pool will be crystal clear and ready to enjoy. If we spot any equipment issues during the opening, we let you know right away so you can decide whether to handle repairs then or schedule them for later. We also offer pool equipment repairs if anything needs fixing.

Pool Closing Service

Closing your pool properly protects your investment during the off season. It prevents algae growth, keeps equipment from damage, and makes spring opening much easier. We handle every detail so your pool stays in great shape while it is not being used.

Our closing service includes thorough cleaning, chemical treatment to prevent algae, lowering water level if needed, winterizing equipment, and installing your pool cover securely. We also blow out plumbing lines and add antifreeze to prevent freeze damage during rare cold snaps. Once we are done, your pool is fully protected until you are ready to open it again. If you want ongoing maintenance instead of closing completely, consider our weekly pool cleaning service.

Why Professional Service Matters

You could try to open or close your pool yourself, but most homeowners find it is more hassle than it is worth. Proper opening and closing requires specific knowledge about water chemistry, equipment operation, and potential problems. Miss something important and you could end up with a green swamp when you open up, or damaged equipment from improper winterization.

We have opened and closed hundreds of pools in Pico Rivera, so we know exactly what needs to be done. We bring all the right tools and chemicals, and we complete the job in just a few hours. Plus, if we find any issues with your equipment during the process, we catch them before they turn into expensive emergency repairs.
