Schedule Your Pool Opening Today!
Our schedule fills up, and if repairs are needed it will prolong your opening date. Credit card information is required upon booking & $150.00 deposit is required to hold your place on our schedule. The deposit will be deducted from your bill upon completion of service. The remaining balance may be paid with the same card, check, cash, or Venmo. Specific times will not be provided for an arrival time.
You will be notified via our scheduling system upon arrival and departure of our service technicians. Please provide our office with any gate codes or special requirements regarding animals at the time of booking your service so they can be included in the notes to our technician.
Variables such as weather play a factor in our schedule, and your service date may change. Our office and service technicians will inform you of a revised service date if the original scheduled day changes. In addition, once they arrive to perform your opening service, there is no guarantee your pool equipment will all be functioning properly, or your water will be swimmable at the time of opening. Some pools may be green, and some are clear upon opening. It is not a realistic expectation for the water to be crystal clear and swimmable the first or second day it is opened.
There are too many variables to be able to guarantee water clarity and oftentimes the customer will have to maintain checking and balancing the chemicals for numerous days after the opening service is complete. Customer is responsible to make sure electric and water is turned on prior to service and chemicals and salt are easily accessible if customer chooses to provide them.
