Get Your Swimming Pool Ready with Our Spring Pool Openings in Connecticut

As the warm weather hits, the first thing on your agenda may be to open your swimming pool. After being ignored all winter, our spring pool openings can make sure that your swimming pool is clean, safe, and prepared to provide hours of entertainment for your family during the beautiful Connecticut summer.

Here is a rundown of what is included with our swimming pool opening service in Connecticut:

Clean and Remove the Pool Cover

First, we need to get the pool cover off so we can see what we are working with. Before we remove the cover, we will make sure that it is free from debris and there is no water buildup. Whether you have a solid or mesh pool cover, we will properly roll it up and make sure it is wrapped tightly so it will store well during the summer. At this point, we will also make sure that your water level is appropriate.

Remove Winter Plugs

Now it’s time for us to remove all of the freeze plugs from the wall returns, spa jets, skimmers, and pool cleaner lines. We will place these together into a plastic bag and make sure they are stored next to your pool cover so you won’t risk losing them. If any of the plugs are cracked or rotting, we will replace them.

Reassemble the Filter Pump and Heater and Perform a Full Inspection

Next, we will effectively re-install the pump, heater, filter, and chlorinator. During this process, we will also complete a full inspection of your pool equipment, making sure everything is operating as it should and that there are no safety concerns. As part of our spring pool opening in Connecticut, we will make sure there are no leaks, that all valves are open properly, and that the pump lid is closed tightly. All o-rings will be lubed and we will tape any fittings that are leaking.

Start the System

Once we are confident everything is in working order, we will make sure the pool surface, walls, steps, and water are clean. And then, the most exciting part of our CT swimming pool opening, we will start up the pool. We will also add chlorine and algaecide, and if requested, we can take a water sample back to our store to test it. Then, we can provide you with a printout of the results that outlines exactly what chemicals your pool needs to be balanced.

Install Any Ladders and Handrails

The final step of our spring pool opening in Connecticut is to put up the ladders and handrails, if applicable.

If your swimming pool requires any services not mentioned above—such as vacuuming—there will likely be an additional charge incurred, and we will need to know about it when we schedule your spring pool opening to make sure we leave enough time.

When the warm weather hits, don’t delay. Contact us today to schedule your CT spring pool opening and you will be enjoying the water in no time at all.
