Two ways to open your pool, each priced upfront. Most customers choose the Full Pool Opening.
Full Pool Opening
Equipment started, pool uncovered, and a light cleaning so you are ready for the season.
- Remove winter plugs and reinstall fittings, ladders, and accessories
- Reconnect and start the pump, filter, heater, and connected equipment
- Check for visible leaks or startup issues and confirm circulation
- Water testing with a written chemical recommendation
- Surface skimming and brushing
- Cleaning pump and skimmer baskets
Chemicals and vacuuming are not included. Any chemicals added are billed separately at standard rates. Vacuuming is a scheduled follow-up visit (starting at $175).
Opening + Follow-Up Vacuum Visit
The Full Opening plus a scheduled return visit to vacuum and finish the cleanup once the water settles.
- One scheduled follow-up visit
- Vacuuming when the water is clear enough and the level allows
- Additional brushing and skimming
- Water retesting and an updated chemical recommendation
- Filter inspection and backwashing when applicable
Vacuuming depends on adequate water clarity, water level, and functioning equipment. Chemicals are billed separately at standard rates.

How much does a pool opening cost?
There are two packages, and the price is the same for in-ground and above-ground pools. The Full Pool Opening starts at $575 and covers the startup, a leak and circulation check, a water test with a written chemical recommendation, and a light cleaning. The Opening + Follow-Up Vacuum Visit starts at $725 and adds a scheduled return visit to vacuum and finish the cleanup once the water settles. An attached spa adds $75, and cover removal, pool cleaner setup, and filter cleaning are small add-ons you pick when you book. Homes more than 40 minutes from our Clinton base are priced by drive time, shown when you book.
Are chemicals included in the opening?
No. Every opening includes a full water test and a written chemical recommendation, so you know exactly what the pool needs to get in range. Any chemicals we add are billed separately at standard rates and itemized on your report.
When should I open my pool?
Most pools in our area should be opened in late April or early May, once daytime temperatures stay above 70 degrees consistently. Opening earlier helps prevent algae growth under the cover.
How long does a pool opening take?
A typical opening takes 2 to 3 hours. If the pool needs extra cleaning or equipment attention, it may take a bit longer.
When can we swim?
Once you have added the chemicals from our written recommendation, give them time to circulate and retest before swimming. Wait until chlorine and pH are back in the normal range.
