Open and Close Your Pool with Confidence

Prepare your pool for the start and end of every season

A proper opening and a careful closing are essential to make the most of swim season and extend the life of your pool. Our pool opening and closing products protect your equipment, stabilize the water, and help prevent algae and contaminants during the off-season months.

 

Key steps for a successful pool opening or closing

At pool opening:

  • Remove the cover, clean the pool, and clear out any debris.
  • Test the water to check key levels before startup.
  • Use pool opening products to sanitize the water, correct imbalances, and make startup easier.
  • Complete opening with any necessary adjustments to restore water that is clean, clear, and ready for swimming.

At pool closing:

  • Clean the pool and prepare the basin before the season ends.
  • Before closing, check the water and adjust the levels if needed to support better stability over winter.
  • Add pool closing products to protect your equipment, stabilize the water, and help prevent algae and contaminants during the off-season.
  • Install winter protection once the basic steps are complete to make reopening easier in spring.

 

What products should you use when opening and closing your pool?

At opening, the priority is products that help you start the season with safe, well-balanced water. At closing, use solutions designed to protect the water and the pool during the off-season.
