Pool Opening & Closing Services

Seasonal Pool Care in Ventura

Even here in Ventura where we enjoy mild weather year-round, many homeowners choose to close their pool during the cooler months. Whether you travel during winter, want to reduce maintenance costs, or simply do not swim when it is cold, proper pool closing protects your investment.

Opening your pool in spring requires more than just removing the cover. The water needs to be tested and balanced, equipment needs to be inspected and restarted, and the entire pool needs a thorough cleaning after months of sitting dormant.

We handle both pool opening and closing services for Ventura area homeowners. Our technicians follow a detailed checklist to ensure your pool is properly winterized or ready for swimming season. Done right, these seasonal transitions protect your equipment and make maintenance easier.

What We Do During Pool Closing

Closing your pool correctly prevents damage from algae growth, freezing temperatures, and debris accumulation. Here is what our closing service includes:

• Complete water testing and chemical balancing
• Shock treatment and algaecide application for winter protection
• Thorough cleaning of pool surfaces and skimmers
• Water level adjustment to proper winterizing height
• Equipment shutdown and drain-down procedures
• Plumbing line blow-out to prevent freeze damage (if needed)
• Pool cover installation and securing
• Final inspection and winterizing checklist completion

Proper winterizing prevents the most common off-season problems including green water, equipment damage from freezing, and cover failures. When spring arrives, your pool will be much easier to reopen.

What We Do During Pool Opening

Opening your pool properly gets you swimming faster and prevents problems throughout the season. Our spring opening service includes:
