Opening

We uncover and prepare—on your schedule

Spring arrives fast, but opening your pool should never feel rushed. Our pool opening services are scheduled around your availability, not a high-volume route list. We take the time to properly uncover, inspect, and prepare your pool so everything is set up correctly from day one.

We focus on precision, system performance, and long-term reliability—so you’re not dealing with mid-season issues caused by rushed openings.

We remove your pool cover carefully

Your pool cover is removed with care and fully inspected for wear or damage. Winter water is properly drained, debris is cleared, and the pool is cleaned thoroughly to create a clean starting point for the season. Nothing is skipped, and nothing is rushed.

Equipment is synced, updated, and monitored

All core equipment is inspected, started, and tested, including pumps, filters, heaters, and automation systems. We perform automation software updates, verify equipment syncing, and confirm all components communicate correctly.
Autofill systems are checked and calibrated, ensuring proper water levels without overfilling. Once everything is online, we test performance and monitoring functions so your system runs efficiently throughout the season—not just on opening day.

Summer Performance Checklist

Pittsburgh Pool Summer Care Standards

Pittsburgh summers bring heat spikes, heavy rain, storms, and high pool usage. This checklist focuses on water quality, equipment reliability, automation accuracy, and consistent performance throughout peak swim season.

✓
Maintain proper water chemistry to handle heat, heavy use, and summer rainfall.
✓
Inspect and clean filters regularly to prevent flow restriction and cloudy water.
✓
Monitor pump performance and run times to ensure efficient circulation during peak heat.
✓
Check heaters and heat pumps for proper operation during fluctuating summer temperatures.
✓
Verify automation system syncing and adjust schedules for extended daylight hours.
✓
Confirm autofill systems maintain proper water levels during evaporation and heat waves.
✓
Inspect skimmers and baskets for debris buildup from storms and surrounding foliage.
✓
Brush walls, steps, and tile lines to prevent algae growth in warm conditions.
✓
Vacuum debris promptly after storms to protect circulation and filtration systems.
✓
Inspect electrical connections and bonding after summer storms and lightning activity.
✓
Check cover tracks and safety cover components for alignment and wear during frequent use.
✓
Perform routine visual inspections to catch small issues before they interrupt swim season.
