Pool Opening & Closing Services

Seasonal Pool Care in Placentia

Even in Southern California, some homeowners close their pools for the winter or reduce usage during cooler months. Others keep their pools open year-round but need a spring refresh after light use. Either way, properly opening and closing your pool protects your investment and saves you money on repairs.

Our pool opening and closing services in Placentia, CA handle all the steps you need to prepare your pool for swimming season or shut it down safely for the off-season. We make sure your equipment stays in good shape and your water stays balanced so you do not come back to a green, damaged pool.

How We Open Your Pool for Summer

Opening your pool the right way sets you up for a trouble-free swimming season. We do not just pull off the cover and call it done. Here is what we do when we open your pool.

• •Remove and clean your pool cover, then store it properly to extend its life
• •Inspect all equipment including your pump, filter, heater, and valves
• •Reconnect hoses, reinstall drain plugs, and prime your pump
• •Remove debris, vacuum the pool, and scrub the walls and tiles
• •Test and balance water chemistry including pH, alkalinity, and chlorine
• •Shock the pool if needed to kill any bacteria or algae that developed

Once we finish, your pool is clean, balanced, and ready to swim in. We also check for any maintenance issues that came up during the off-season so you can fix them before they get worse.

How We Close Your Pool for Winter

Closing your pool properly prevents damage from cold weather, algae growth, and equipment problems. Even though Placentia does not get freezing winters, shutting down your pool the right way protects it during months of light or no use.

Here is what we do when we close your pool for the season.

• •Balance water chemistry to prevent algae and scale buildup over winter
• •Lower the water level if needed to protect your tile line and equipment
• •Drain and winterize your pump, filter, heater, and plumbing lines
• •Remove and store accessories like ladders, skimmer baskets, and cleaners
• •Install a safety cover to keep debris out and protect kids and pets

Proper winterizing protects your equipment from damage and prevents expensive repairs when you reopen. Many Placentia homeowners also use our weekly maintenance service during the off-season to keep water balanced with minimal effort.

Year-Round Pool Maintenance

Not everyone closes their pool in Placentia. If you swim year-round or just want to keep your pool looking good, we offer seasonal deep cleaning services instead of full winterization. This gives your pool a fresh start without shutting everything down.

We also offer reduced maintenance schedules during cooler months. Instead of weekly service, we visit every two weeks to keep your water balanced and your equipment running. This saves you money while keeping your pool in good shape so it is ready when you want to swim again.
