Pool Opening & Closing Services

Seasonal Pool Care in San Angelo

Your pool needs proper care when the seasons change. Here in San Angelo, we experience hot summers and cool winters. That means your pool requires different attention at different times of year. Whether you are opening your pool for summer or closing it for winter, professional service ensures everything goes smoothly.

Pool opening and closing is not just about taking a cover on and off. It involves careful preparation, equipment inspection, water treatment, and system testing. Doing it wrong can lead to equipment damage, water problems, or expensive repairs down the road. We handle every step properly so you avoid these issues.

Why Professional Opening and Closing Matters

Many pool owners try to handle opening and closing themselves to save money. But this often backfires. Improperly stored covers develop mold and tears. Equipment that was not winterized correctly fails when you start it up. Water chemistry that was not balanced properly creates staining or algae problems. These mistakes cost far more to fix than professional service would have cost in the first place.

Our team has opened and closed hundreds of pools across San Angelo. We know exactly what your pool needs for each season. We catch small problems before they become big ones. We use the right products and methods to protect your investment. And we make sure your pool is truly ready when you want to use it.

Our Pool Opening Process

When we open your pool for the season, we handle everything from start to finish. Here is what our process includes:

• Cover removal and cleaning: We carefully remove your winter cover, clean it thoroughly, and store it properly for next season.
• Equipment reconnection: All equipment that was disconnected or bypassed for winter gets reconnected and tested to ensure proper operation.
• System startup: We prime pumps, check for leaks, test automation systems, and verify that everything runs correctly.
• Deep cleaning: We remove debris that accumulated during winter, brush all surfaces, and vacuum the pool completely.
• Water treatment: We test and balance chemistry, shock the water, and treat any issues that developed during closure.
• Final inspection: We check every component one more time and make sure your pool is swim-ready.

Most pools are ready to swim within 24 to 48 hours after our opening service. The water will be crystal clear, properly balanced, and safe for your family. You just jump in and enjoy.

Our Pool Closing Process

Closing your pool properly protects it during the months you are not using it. We follow a thorough process that prevents damage and makes spring opening easier. Our closing service includes balancing water chemistry to prevent staining and algae, lowering water to the proper level, draining equipment to prevent freeze damage, adding winterizing chemicals for long-term protection, and installing and securing your winter cover.

Some San Angelo pool owners choose to keep their pools open year-round with reduced maintenance. Others prefer to close completely from November through February. We help you decide which approach makes the most sense based on how you use your pool and what kind of equipment you have. Either way, we provide the right level of care for your situation.

When to Schedule Pool Services

Timing matters for both opening and closing. Most San Angelo residents open pools in late March or early April when temperatures consistently stay above 70 degrees. This lets you enjoy beautiful spring weather without wasting money heating an unused pool. We start getting busy in March, so book early to get your preferred date.

For closing, late October or November works well for most people. You want to close before the first hard freeze but not so early that you miss warm fall days. We monitor weather patterns and help you pick the ideal timing. If you decide to keep your pool open through winter, we offer reduced-frequency maintenance plans that keep water balanced without the cost of full weekly service.

Additional Services During Opening and Closing

Opening and closing are perfect times to address other pool needs. We can handle equipment repairs or upgrades, replace worn parts before they fail mid-season, perform tile cleaning and calcium removal, repair cracks or surface damage, and upgrade to more efficient pumps or automation systems. Taking care of these items during opening or closing means your pool is in perfect condition when you want to use it.
