Professional Pool Service - 4 Reasons to Hire Experts to Open Your Pool

Waking up your pool after a long winter’s rest is exciting but also a time consuming and laborious endeavor. When you’re ready to open your pool for the season, you might want to consider hiring a professional pool company instead. Here are 4 reasons why.

Pool Covers Can Be Hard to Manage

Managing the pool cover is a two-person job. Unless you meticulously cared for your cover, by the time you open your swimming pool most pool covers have accumulated a lot of debris and water. 

You need to clean it and drain off any stagnant water before you can even get it off the pool. Even with a second person, it can be tricky and oftentimes debris left on your cover ends up in your pool. 

Of course, you can just pull it off and dump everything into your pool but that also comes with a price tag. Your pool may have been clear underneath but after dumping everything in you need to spend a lot more time and money cleaning your pool.

Scooping Leaves and Cleaning Debris

Once you do get the pool cover off, depending on how you closed it and if you dumped the cover you still have to clean it. If leaves ended up in your pool, skim the floating leaves and other debris, scoop the leaves that settled to the bottom, and vacuum up fine dust and dirt that’s settled to the bottom. 

This can be time-consuming, laborious, and a daunting task to conquer. A professional pool service company will clean off your cover before taking it off and ensure nothing lands in your pool. 

Install Equipment

Assuming your above ground pool was properly closed for winter, there's still a lot of work to do. You’ll have to reconnect all the equipment, remove winterizing plugs, and make sure everything is working properly. 

Untangling equipment and putting it where it belongs can be like unraveling a tangled knot of Christmas lights. While each year you get more familiar with the equipment, it can still be difficult to make sure all your parts are where they belong after months of absence. 

If your pool pump and filter aren’t properly set up, it can damage or destroy the equipment, and let your pool turn into a swamp in the meantime. 

A pool technician is familiar with all kinds of different pool systems and will ensure your equipment is set up and working properly. If something didn’t make it through winter or isn’t working, it can most likely be fixed immediately.

Free Inspection for Damages

No matter how well your pool is winterized, there’s always a chance that damage will occur over the winter. Something may have already been on its last leg last season and needs replacing. Sometimes you can notice low water levels during your above ground pool opening, a pool expert will be able to determine if it’s due to a leak or just water displacement.

When you hire professionals to open your pool, they’ll take good care to make note of any damages to your pool walls, liner, or any equipment. 

This can give you a heads up to prevent problems before they get worse, which can save you hundreds of dollars in equipment and repairs. Plus, you’ll know your pool is in fit running order before the hot summer months hit when you need your pool the most.
