Our Process
How We Open Your Pool for Spring
A thorough startup process that gets your pool clean, balanced, and ready to swim.
Remove Cover & Clean
We carefully remove the winter cover, clean off accumulated debris, and inspect the cover for damage before storing it for the season.
Refill & Reconnect
Water level is brought back up to the proper height. All plugs are removed, plumbing lines are reconnected, and equipment is reassembled.
Equipment Startup & Inspection
Pump, filter, heater, salt cell, and automation systems are powered up, tested, and inspected for any winter-related damage or wear.
Chemical Balancing & Filtration
Full water chemistry testing and balancing — pH, alkalinity, calcium, chlorine, and stabilizer. Filter is cleaned or replaced as needed to restore full circulation.
Pro Tips
First Two Weeks After Opening
The first couple of weeks after opening are critical. Follow these tips to keep your pool clear and healthy.
Run the pump 8–12 hours per day for the first week to circulate and filter the water thoroughly
Test water chemistry every 2–3 days during the first two weeks — chemistry shifts quickly after opening
Brush walls and floor daily for the first week to prevent algae from taking hold on surfaces
Check the filter pressure gauge regularly — you may need to clean the filter more often the first week
Inspect all visible plumbing connections, fittings, and equipment for leaks after startup
Schedule your first regular weekly service visit within 1–2 weeks of opening
Common Questions
Pool Opening FAQ
When should I open my pool in North Texas?
Most pool owners open between mid-March and mid-April, once nighttime temperatures consistently stay above 50°F. Opening too early increases chemical costs, but waiting too long — especially past April — risks algae growth under the cover.
How long does a spring pool opening take?
A standard spring opening takes 1–2 hours. This includes cover removal, equipment startup, plumbing reconnection, water chemistry testing and balancing, and a full system inspection.
What if there's damage from the winter?
Our technicians inspect everything during the opening process. If we find freeze damage — cracked pipes, failed equipment, or shell issues — we'll document it, explain the repair options, and can schedule the fix right away.
Do I need to drain and refill my pool after winter?
Usually not. If the pool was properly winterized and covered, the existing water can be treated and balanced. In rare cases where water quality has degraded significantly, a partial drain and refill may be recommended.
Can I open the pool myself?
You can, but professional opening ensures equipment is started correctly, chemicals are balanced properly, and any winter damage is caught early. Incorrect startup can damage pumps and other equipment, and improper chemical treatment can lead to algae blooms or surface staining.
