Pool Opening & Closing Services

Why Seasonal Service Matters

In Cibolo, most pool owners use their pools heavily from spring through fall and reduce usage during winter months. Properly opening your pool in spring and closing it for winter protects your investment and makes maintenance easier year-round.

Opening your pool the right way means you start the season with clean, balanced water. Closing it properly prevents damage from freezing temperatures, keeps debris out, and reduces the work needed to reopen next year.

Many pool owners try to handle seasonal tasks themselves and end up missing important steps. We have seen pools with cracked pipes, broken equipment, and severe algae growth because they were not prepared correctly. Our professional service takes care of everything so you can relax.

Pool Opening Service

When spring arrives and you are ready to swim, our pool opening service gets everything ready quickly. Here is what we do:

• ✓Remove and clean your pool cover if you use one
• ✓Inspect and reinstall pool equipment removed for winter storage
• ✓Start up your pump, filter, and heater systems
• ✓Remove debris and vacuum the pool thoroughly
• ✓Test and balance water chemistry to safe swimming levels
• ✓Shock the pool to eliminate any bacteria or algae that developed over winter
• ✓Inspect equipment for any damage or issues that need repair

After we finish, your pool is ready for swimming. If we find problems during the opening process like equipment that needs repair, we will let you know and provide recommendations.

Pool Closing Service

When temperatures drop and you are done swimming for the season, our pool closing service protects your pool during winter. Proper winterization prevents costly damage and makes spring opening much easier.

What We Do During Pool Closing

We follow a detailed checklist to make sure your pool is fully protected:

• ✓Balance water chemistry to prevent staining and scale buildup
• ✓Add winterizing chemicals to keep water clear and prevent algae
• ✓Lower water level to the appropriate height
• ✓Drain and blow out plumbing lines to prevent freeze damage
• ✓Remove and store equipment like ladders, handrails, and cleaners
• ✓Install a safety cover or winter cover to keep debris out
• ✓Prepare pump, filter, and heater for storage

Proper winterization is especially important in Cibolo where temperatures can occasionally dip below freezing. Even one hard freeze can crack pipes and damage equipment if your pool is not prepared correctly.

Year-Round Pool Care

While many Cibolo residents reduce pool usage in winter, some prefer to keep their pools open year-round. If you use a pool heater and swim during cooler months, you can skip the closing process and continue regular maintenance instead.

Our weekly pool cleaning service is available throughout the year. We adjust our service based on your usage and the season. Winter maintenance typically requires less frequent chemical adjustments and cleaning since pool activity is lower. If you decide to keep your pool open or need help with pool inspection to assess your equipment, we are here to help.
