Have located and ready for re-installation any return eyeballs / jets, skimmer baskets, all pump filter and heater cogs / plugs, pool ladder, etc.

We'll professionally remove all debris from the pool cover, gently scrub it before removing it from the pool, professionally fold it and roll it in preparation for pool closing in the fall.
Please note that the best storage for a winter pool cover is in a rubber storage tote or trash bit to prevent pest and rodent damage.
We'll reinstall all equipment and ensure proper operation.
We'll add starter chemicals to begin the balancing process ie. granulated chlorine, algicide if needed, stabilizer, alkalinity.
Please note chemicals and testing will need to be updated within a week’s time of filtering to complete the balancing process. This follow up visit is available at additional cost.
