When Should I Open or Close my Pool

 

   It’s a well-known fact that warmer temperatures breed algae in a swimming pool. If your winter cover is a mesh cover that allows sunlight through you want to open it before we get consecutive 60 degree days full of sunlight. It’s better to open up the pool earlier than wait only to find a mountain of algae. A solid cover will buy you more time than a mesh cover but waiting too long might lead to that same mountain of algae.

   

   The same 60 degree temperature applies to closing your pool when you have a mesh cover.

Pool Opening Service

 

   Have your pool professionally opened and ready for an enjoyable season. At start-up, we will perform the following:

 

     Remove debris from immediate deck area

     Remove, fold and store pool cover

     Reassemble filter, pump, pool cleaner

     Install ladders, rail, skimmer baskets and accessories

     Light pilot on pool heater. Heater will be left off but ready to operate.

     Initial test & adjustment of water chemistry, add owner chemicals

 

   Some pools require additional vacuuming after start-up and this is NOT included. Due to time constraints and the number of pools we open each season, we are only able to allot 2 hours maximum per call. Any additional work needed will have to be rescheduled by the customer.

 

Pool Closing Service

 

   Protect your investment! Professional closing is a necessity for the educated pool owner. Have it done right by Jason's Wholesale Spa and Pool Company to avoid costly and time consuming repairs in the spring. Our closing package includes:

 

     Lowering water level to proper level for cover type

     Air blow and plug lines

     Winterize filtration system and pumps

     Install skimmer protection expansion devices

     Add winter chemicals

     Install winter pool cover

 

   Fall closing price does not include any chemicals, plugs, skimmer expansion device, or safety cover anchors and will be billed in addition to closing price above. Vacuuming is not included in our standard closing and pool will be winterized in the condition it is in upon arrival unless prior arrangements have been made to clean the pool (at additional cost). 

 

   Closings are scheduled "week of" and not by specific appointments. It is not required for someone to be home for the visit provided we have access to the pool, equipment, winter cover, etc. If our crew can not perform scheduled work due to access problems or other reasons and has to return at a later time, an additional fee will apply.

Important Note

​

   If you are losing any water due to a leak in your liner or pool it's important that you repair it before closing the pool. Water pressure and weight help to keep the pool walls from collapsing.
