Pool Opening & Closing Services
Professional seasonal pool opening and winterization services to protect your investment in Lubbock, TX.
Why Seasonal Pool Service Matters
While Lubbock does not get the harsh winters you find up north, our pools still benefit from proper seasonal care. Opening your pool correctly in spring means starting the season with clean, balanced water. Closing it properly in fall protects your equipment from freeze damage during those occasional hard freezes we get in West Texas. Both services save you money and headaches compared to doing it wrong or skipping it altogether.
Many Lubbock pool owners keep their pools running year-round with minimal use in winter. Others prefer to close completely during the cold months. Whatever you choose, we can help you do it right so your pool and equipment stay in great shape.
Spring Pool Opening Service
Opening your pool for summer is more than just removing a cover and filling it with water. We take care of everything to get your pool swim-ready:
- •Remove and clean pool cover if you used one during winter
- •Reconnect pump, filter, and heater that were winterized
- •Inspect all equipment for damage or issues that developed over winter
- •Remove debris and vacuum anything that accumulated while closed
- •Fill pool to proper level and check for leaks
- •Start circulation system and verify everything runs correctly
- •Test and balance water chemistry completely
- •Shock and treat to ensure water is safe and clear
- •Clean filter to start season fresh
Most spring openings take 2 to 4 hours depending on your pool size and how long it has been closed. We recommend scheduling your opening in early April so your pool is ready when the weather warms up.
Fall Pool Closing and Winterization
Properly closing your pool protects it from freeze damage and makes spring opening much easier. Even in Lubbock where winters are mild, we get occasional hard freezes that can crack pipes and damage equipment if you are not prepared. Here is what we do during a pool closing:
We start by thoroughly cleaning the pool and balancing the chemistry so water stays stable over winter. Then we lower the water level below the skimmer and return jets. We blow out all plumbing lines and plug them to prevent freezing. We drain and winterize the pump, filter, heater, and chlorinator. Any removable equipment gets stored safely. If you use a cover, we install it securely. The entire process takes 2 to 3 hours and gives you peace of mind all winter long.
Running Your Pool Year-Round in Lubbock
Some Lubbock homeowners prefer keeping their pool running through winter with minimal maintenance. This works well if you have a heater and want the option to swim during warmer winter days. If you choose this route, we recommend reducing your pump run time, continuing chemical treatment at lower levels, and using a winter cover to reduce debris and heat loss.
We offer modified winter maintenance plans that keep your pool operational without the full weekly service. This middle-ground approach works great for folks who want their pool ready to use anytime but do not need intensive summer-level service. Check out our weekly pool cleaning options to find a plan that fits your needs. And if you need equipment work before winter, our pool equipment repair team can make sure everything is running smoothly.
