Your pool should be opened by a trained professional. We can identify potential problems that could lead to needed repairs and updates to your equipment to keep your pool running efficiently during the summer. We also provide tips and water care information for your pool.
During your pool opening, we will perform the following services:
- Removing all equipment used during winterization.
- Starting pump and filter.
- Installing deck equipment and accessories.
- Extracting all antifreeze and discharge from pool plumbing to waste.
- Inspecting pool equipment: pump, filter, plumbing, chlorine generator (if applicable), and heater. Any repairs needed will be noted and you will be contacted.
- Installing all plugs and gauges.
- Brushing walls, steps, and bottom.
- Brush automatic pool covers. (if applicable)
- Includes chemical kit: 2 gallons of liquid shock, 1 quart algicide, 1 water Clarifier. 1 quart scale and metal control (for gunite pools only.)
A few notes on your opening
During the winter months, your pool may have turned green or black depending on the water chemistry or weather when your pool was closed, this is normal and will take additional chemicals to clear up your pool. Usually, a pool will turn around in 1-3 days depending on the color or issue in the water. We will not add salt into your pool. You must get your water tested and purchase this separately to prevent a surplus of salt and having to drain the pool down.
Please note this is not a pool cleaning
- This service is to open the pools equipment and get it running/circulating. The chemical kit mentioned above will be added, the pool walls and floors will be brushed and your pool cover sprayed off. Your pool will require additional attention, chemicals and cleaning after the opening is completed. If the water was unbalanced or green at closing, you will require additional chemicals and will need to clean the pool after it has been circulating.
- You will need to backwash daily or twice a day depending on the clarity and debris in your water after the pool is circulating for it to clear up and avoid your filter or pump getting clogged.
- Winter covers, like mesh or tarps still allow debris into your pool while it is closed and will require you to vacuum your pool after it has been opened.
- Any additional repairs that were not made during the off season, will be noted on your work order. This will require a service call at an additional charge for us to return to your pool after the remainder of the openings have been finished. Light repairs can be made, but not all repairs can and will be fixed during your opening.
Water Testing is Critical
Once your pool has been opened and circulating, please bring in a water sample within 2-3 days to our retail location at 10806 Kingston Pike in Knoxville. We will recommend the proper chemicals to add to your pool and any maintenance dosages needed to keep your pool healthy during the summer! It is better to get this taken care of early in the season so you are not fighting water issues once the weather warms up.
We only open in-ground pools.
We offer the option to request a chemical bundle in advance and our service team will deliver the bundle to you during your opening! Please see the details below and select which package you would like on your form.
