Spring Pool Opening Done Right

A proper pool opening sets the tone for your entire swimming season. Rush it and you will be chasing problems for weeks. Our professional opening service handles every detail so your first day is perfect.

What Is Included

  • Cover removal and cleaning — We remove your winter cover, clean it, let it dry, and fold it for storage
  • Equipment reconnection — Reinstall drain plugs, reconnect pump, filter, heater, and all accessories
  • System inspection — Check all connections, seals, o-rings, and plumbing for leaks or wear
  • Water fill and circulation — Top off water level and start the pump to verify proper flow
  • Chemical treatment — Initial shock, pH and alkalinity balancing, algaecide application
  • Water testing — Full comprehensive analysis with a personalized treatment plan for the season

When to Schedule

In southeastern Wisconsin, most pool owners open between late April and mid-May when daytime temperatures consistently reach the low 70s. Book early — spring slots fill fast. Call (262) 367-8281 to schedule.

Pro Tip: Run your heater for an hour during opening week to test it before you actually need it. Finding a problem in April is much better than discovering it on the first warm Saturday in June.

How It Works

Your Opening, Step by Step

1
Uncover & Inspect
Winter cover comes off, gets cleaned and folded. We inspect the liner, coping, and rails before anything gets turned on.
2
Reconnect & Prime
Drain plugs back in, pump primed, filter and heater reconnected, every fitting checked for leaks.
3
Shock & Balance
Initial shock and algaecide, then pH and alkalinity brought into range so the water clears fast.
4
Walkthrough & Tips
We walk you through everything we did, what to watch the first week, and when to bring in your first sample.
Common Questions

Good to Know

Most openings take 1.5 to 3 hours depending on pool size and how the pool wintered. Green or swampy pools take longer — we will give you a realistic picture on site.
It is common and fixable. If the pool was closed properly it usually clears within a week of opening with the right treatment. Bring us a sample after 48 hours of circulation and we will map out the fastest path to clear.
Two to three weeks ahead is safe. Late April and May slots fill fastest — if you want to swim by Memorial Day, call in early April. (262) 367-8281.
