POOL OPENINGS & CLOSINGS

POOL OPENING

Pools should be opened anytime after the threat of frost has ended and through the month of June.

*Customer must make certain that water is at mid-skimmer level prior to our arrival so that we may start the filter.  Additional charges will be incurred if we must make a second trip to start filter.

COVER REMOVAL

To avoid additional charges, cover should be dry and free of debris prior to opening.  Please inform us prior to opening if pumping or debris removal will be necessary at time of opening.

• MESH COVER – To be removed, folded and put away.

• VINYL COVER – Pump off a maximum of 2” of water, fold and put away.  Pin holes in vinyl covers may cause lowering of pool level when pumping off cover.  A large 3” gas powered pump may be required with an additional charge based on individual pool.  We do not dry covers prior to storage.
