Pool Opening & Closing Services

Why Seasonal Pool Services Matter

Even in Southern California, pools need seasonal attention. When summer arrives, you want your pool ready to use without spending hours getting it back in shape. When the cooler months come, you need to protect your pool from reduced use and temperature changes. That's where professional pool opening and closing services come in.

At PoolVantage Pomona Pool Care, we help homeowners in Pomona, CA prepare their pools for every season. Whether you're opening your pool for summer fun or winterizing it for the off-season, we handle all the technical work so you don't have to. Our seasonal services save you time, prevent equipment damage, and ensure your pool is ready when you need it.

What's Included in Pool Opening Service

Pool opening is about more than just pulling off the cover. We make sure everything is functioning properly and your water is safe for swimming:

• Remove and clean the pool cover (if applicable)
• Inspect all pool equipment for damage or wear
• Reconnect and start up the pump and filter system
• Thoroughly clean the pool, including brushing and vacuuming
• Test and balance water chemistry for safe swimming
• Check for leaks, cracks, or other issues that need attention
• Run the system and confirm everything is working correctly

We typically recommend opening your pool in late spring or early summer, depending on when you plan to start using it. If your pool has been sitting unused for months, it may need extra attention like algae treatment or filter cleaning. We handle everything so your pool is swim-ready from day one.

What's Included in Pool Closing Service

Closing your pool properly protects your equipment and makes opening it next season much easier. Here's what we do during a pool closing:

• Balance the water chemistry to prevent algae and staining
• Lower the water level to the appropriate height
• Drain and winterize the pump, filter, and heater
• Blow out plumbing lines to prevent freeze damage (if needed)
• Add winterizing chemicals to keep water clean during the off-season
• Install a pool cover to keep out debris
• Inspect equipment and recommend any repairs for the next season

Even though Pomona has mild winters, closing your pool properly reduces maintenance during the months you're not using it. Many of our customers close their pools in late fall and open them again in spring. It's a simple way to protect your investment and reduce year-round maintenance costs.

Why Hire a Professional for Opening and Closing

You could try to open or close your pool yourself, but it takes time, knowledge, and the right equipment. If you miss a step or make a mistake, you could end up with algae growth, equipment damage, or a pool that's not safe to use. Professional services eliminate those risks and get the job done right the first time.

We've opened and closed hundreds of pools in the Pomona area, and we know exactly what each pool needs based on its size, equipment, and condition. We bring all the tools and chemicals required, and we work efficiently so you don't have to spend your day dealing with pool chores. Many of our seasonal service customers also sign up for our weekly maintenance plan to keep their pools in great shape year-round.
