We have texted your Pool Closing date and estimated cost. Your credit card on file will be charged when the service is complete. Additional charges may apply if extra supplies or labor are required.
Healthy Pool Tip: To properly maintain your pool for a great spring opening, we encourage all our customers to:
- Test and balance their water before closing. You can bring a water sample to our store for a free test. Following our instructions will prevent “the green monster” in the spring!
- Keep the pool running until you lower the water (even if you’re not using it). A clean pool at closing leads to a cleaner pool at the opening, and that means lower start-up costs!
Follow this closing checklist so you are ready for us to close your pool. If your cover and equipment are in your home call (781) 383-3300 in advance to coordinate.
If your water level is too high, there will be an additional charge of $125 for us to lower the water to the appropriate level.
- Water lowering is one of the most common issues during closing season. If your water level is too high, you will be charged an additional $125 for us to lower the water to the appropriate level.
- Inground Pools with Safety Covers: Water must be lowered 18″ below the coping.
- Standard Tarp Cover Pools: Water must be lowered 2-3″ below the bottom of the skimmer.
- Above Ground Pools: Water does not need to be lowered.
- Fiberglass Pools: Water must be lowered 2-3″ below the bottom of the skimmer.
Note: If you backwash to lower your pool water, make sure you plug the skimmer(s) and run the pool only on the main drain to get the water below the skimmers without running the pump dry. Make sure you remove timer switches and turn off pool once the water is lowered.
- Cover is easily accessible. (In the bag is fine.)
- Plugs and Screw Plugs are on or near the pool deck, easily accessible.
- “Gizzmos” are easily accessible (one for each skimmer).
- Garden hose (with two working ends) is attached to a spigot near the pool.
- Outdoor Electricity is on and Circuit Breakers (inside and out) are easily accessible. We need access to a working electrical outlets.
- Gates are unlocked, or we have access to keys/code.
Remember!!! If your pool is not adequately prepared, we will have to return on another day to finish your closing. Please help us keep things running smoothly during our very busy closing season by being ready for your closing!
