Pool Opening & Closing Services

Opening and closing your pool properly makes a huge difference in how well it runs and how long your equipment lasts. Rushing through either process leads to green water, damaged equipment, and expensive repairs. Our professional pool opening and closing services in Abilene take care of every detail, so your pool is ready when you need it and protected when you do not.

Spring Pool Opening Service

When the weather warms up, you want your pool ready to enjoy. Opening a pool that has been sitting all winter requires more than just removing the cover and turning on the pump. Water chemistry is completely out of balance, debris has collected, and equipment needs inspection and startup. Our pool opening service handles everything, so you can jump in as soon as the water is ready.

Here is what we do during a professional pool opening:

• Remove, clean, and store your winter pool cover
• Reconnect pumps, filters, heaters, and all equipment
• Inspect equipment for winter damage or wear
• Remove winterizing plugs and reinstall drain plugs
• Refill pool to proper water level if needed
• Start up all systems and check for proper operation
• Test and balance water chemistry completely
• Vacuum, brush, and skim all surfaces
• Shock and treat water to bring it to swim-ready condition

Fall Pool Closing Service

Closing your pool correctly in the fall protects it from freeze damage and makes spring opening much easier. Many pool owners in Abilene skip proper winterization because our winters are mild, but even occasional freezes can crack pipes, damage equipment, and cause expensive problems. Our pool closing service ensures everything is protected and ready for next season.

When we close your pool, we follow a thorough process that protects every part of your system. We balance your water chemistry to prevent algae and staining during the off-season. We drain water from all equipment to prevent freeze damage. We add winterizing chemicals that keep your water clean and clear until spring. And we make sure your cover is properly installed to keep out debris and protect the pool surface.

Why Professional Opening and Closing Matters

You might be tempted to open or close your pool yourself to save money. The problem is that mistakes are costly. Forgetting to drain a pump can lead to cracked equipment. Not balancing chemicals correctly causes algae blooms or stained surfaces. Improper startup damages pumps and filters. Professional service eliminates these risks and actually saves you money in the long run by preventing damage and extending equipment life.

We also complete the job much faster than most homeowners can. What might take you an entire weekend, we finish in a few hours with better results. Our technicians know exactly what to check, which chemicals to use, and how to identify potential problems before they become expensive repairs. If we notice any equipment issues during opening or closing, we let you know right away so you can address them before they cause bigger problems. And if your pool needs equipment repairs or maintenance, we can handle that at the same time.

Consider Year-Round Pool Care

Many Abilene pool owners keep their pools open year-round because our climate allows it. If you want to swim in warmer winter days or just prefer not to close your pool, that is an option. We can adjust your maintenance schedule for low-use months and keep everything running smoothly. Year-round care often makes more sense than closing and opening every year, especially if you have a heated pool or spa.

Whether you close seasonally or keep your pool open all year, regular maintenance is key to protecting your investment. Our weekly pool cleaning service takes care of everything, so you never have to worry about water quality, equipment problems, or unexpected issues. We can customize a service plan that fits your specific needs and schedule.
