Pool Opening & Closing Services

Why Seasonal Pool Service Matters

Even in mild California weather, pools need seasonal preparation. Opening your pool properly in spring ensures clean, safe water for summer. Closing it correctly before winter prevents equipment damage and reduces maintenance during the off-season. Many homeowners skip these important steps and end up with algae problems, frozen pipes, or expensive equipment repairs.

Professional opening and closing services save you time and protect your investment. We handle all the technical details so you do not have to worry about forgotten steps or incorrect procedures. Whether you use your pool year-round or only during warm months, seasonal maintenance keeps everything running smoothly. Our pool service team has been preparing Daly City pools for years and knows exactly what your pool needs.

Spring Pool Opening Service

Getting Your Pool Swim-Ready

Spring pool opening prepares your pool for the swimming season ahead. Even if you ran your equipment all winter, the pool still needs a thorough inspection and deep cleaning before regular use. Here is what we include in our opening service:

• Remove winter cover: We carefully remove and clean your pool cover if you use one, then store it properly.
• Equipment startup: We inspect and restart your pump, filter, heater, and other equipment after winter shutdown.
• Deep cleaning: We skim debris, brush all surfaces, vacuum the floor, and clean the tile line.
• Water testing and balancing: We test pH, chlorine, alkalinity, and calcium levels, then add necessary chemicals.
• Filter cleaning: We clean or backwash your filter to ensure proper water circulation from day one.
• Equipment inspection: We check for leaks, worn parts, or damage that occurred during winter.

Most pools are swim-ready within 2 to 3 days after opening service. If we find equipment problems, our equipment repair service can fix them before the season starts.

Fall Pool Closing Service

Winterizing Your Pool

Proper winterization protects your pool and equipment during months of reduced use. Even though Daly City rarely freezes, cooler weather and rain create conditions that favor algae growth if the pool is not prepared correctly. Our closing service includes:

• Complete cleaning: We remove all debris, brush surfaces, and vacuum thoroughly before closing.
• Chemical balancing: We adjust pH and add winterizing chemicals to prevent algae and scale buildup.
• Water level adjustment: We lower water to the proper level for winter if needed.
• Equipment winterization: We drain pumps, filters, and heaters to prevent freeze damage on cold nights.
• Plumbing protection: We blow out lines and add antifreeze where necessary to protect pipes.
• Cover installation: We install and secure your winter pool cover to keep debris out during the off-season.

Year-Round Pool Maintenance

Many Daly City pool owners keep their pools open all year. Mild winters mean you can swim in October or March if you have a heater. Year-round operation requires consistent maintenance but eliminates the work of opening and closing.

If you prefer to avoid seasonal services, our weekly pool cleaning service keeps your water perfect through every season. We adjust our approach based on weather, reducing chemical usage in winter and increasing circulation during warmer months. This option works well for families who enjoy their pool year-round or have a spa that stays heated through winter.
