Pool Opening & Closing Services

Do You Need to Close Your Pool in Texas?

Most people in Seguin do not fully close their pools like people up north do. Our winters are mild and we rarely get freezing weather for long. But that does not mean you should ignore your pool all winter. Even in Texas, your pool needs special care when you are not using it for months.

Some homeowners choose to run their pool year-round with reduced hours. Others prefer to winterize and shut everything down to save money on electricity and chemicals. Both approaches work, but each one needs to be done right. That is where our seasonal opening and closing service helps.

Pool Closing Service for Winter

When you close your pool for winter, the goal is to protect your equipment and keep the water from turning into a swamp. Here is what we do:

• Give the pool a thorough cleaning and remove all debris
• Balance the water chemistry to prevent staining and algae growth
• Add winterizing chemicals to protect the water during dormancy
• Lower water level if needed to protect tile and equipment
• Drain pumps, heaters, and filters to prevent freeze damage
• Remove and store automatic cleaners and accessories
• Install your pool cover if you have one

Why Proper Closing Matters

Even though Texas winters are short, we do get occasional freezes. If your equipment has water in it when temperatures drop, pipes can crack and pumps can break. One bad freeze can cost thousands in repairs. Proper winterizing prevents that. Plus, treating the water before closing keeps algae from growing all winter. When spring arrives, opening your pool is much easier if it was closed correctly.

Pool Opening Service for Spring

When warm weather returns, we get your pool ready to swim. Opening a pool is more than just turning the pump back on. Here is our complete process:

• Remove the pool cover and clean it before storing
• Refill the pool to the proper water level
• Reinstall pumps, heaters, and other equipment that was stored
• Prime the pump and start the circulation system
• Check all equipment for leaks or damage and perform repairs if needed
• Clean the pool thoroughly including walls, floor, and tile
• Test and balance water chemistry for safe swimming
• Shock the pool if needed to kill any algae or bacteria

Save Time and Avoid Headaches

Opening and closing a pool correctly takes time and knowledge. You need to know which equipment to drain, how much to lower the water, and what chemicals to add. Most homeowners do not do this often enough to remember all the steps. One mistake like forgetting to drain a line can lead to expensive damage.

When you hire us, you get peace of mind. We have done this hundreds of times. We know how to protect your pool and equipment through every season. And we can spot problems like worn pump seals or clogged filters before they cause bigger issues. Plus, you do not have to lift heavy covers or crawl around draining pipes. We handle everything.
