Pool Opening & Closing Services

Getting Your Pool Ready for the Season

In The Hammocks, we do not close pools for winter the way people up north do. But there are times when you might shut down your pool for a while. Maybe you are traveling for a few months, renovating your backyard, or just do not use the pool during cooler months.

Whether you are opening your pool after time off or closing it temporarily, doing it right matters. A proper opening gets your pool swim-ready fast. A proper closing protects your equipment and prevents damage while the pool sits unused. We handle both so you do not have to worry about the details.

Our opening and closing services are perfect for seasonal residents in The Hammocks and anyone who wants professional care during transitions. We make sure your pool is in great shape when you need it and protected when you do not.

What We Do During Pool Opening

Opening a pool after it has been sitting takes more than just turning on the pump. Here is how we get your pool ready:

• ✓Remove and clean the pool cover if you have one
• ✓Inspect all equipment including pump, filter, heater, and automation systems
• ✓Start up the circulation system and check for leaks or issues
• ✓Clean or backwash the filter to ensure proper water flow
• ✓Remove debris from the pool and give it a thorough cleaning
• ✓Test and balance water chemistry to safe swimming levels
• ✓Shock the pool if needed to kill bacteria and algae

After opening, we recommend scheduling our weekly maintenance service to keep your pool in perfect condition all season long.

What We Do During Pool Closing

Closing your pool the right way prevents problems while it sits idle. We take steps to protect your equipment and keep the water from turning into a swamp:

• ✓Deep clean the pool including vacuuming, brushing, and skimming
• ✓Balance water chemistry and add winterizing chemicals to prevent algae growth
• ✓Lower water level if necessary for long-term storage
• ✓Drain and clean pumps, filters, heaters, and other equipment as needed
• ✓Install a pool cover if you have one to keep debris out
• ✓Secure all equipment and accessories for safe storage

If your equipment needs repairs before closing, we also offer equipment repair services so everything is ready when you reopen.

South Florida Pool Seasons

Since we do not have freezing winters, pool closing here is different than up north. You might close your pool for a few months during cooler weather or when you are away. We tailor our service to match your needs and timeline.

Many seasonal residents have us close their pools when they head north and open them again when they return. It is the easiest way to keep your pool protected while you are gone and ready to enjoy when you get back.
