Pool Opening & Closing Services
Professional seasonal pool opening and closing to protect your investment year-round.
Why Seasonal Pool Service Matters in Socorro
Even though Socorro has mild winters compared to other parts of the country, properly opening and closing your pool each season is still important. Opening your pool correctly ensures it is clean, safe, and ready to use when the weather warms up. Closing it properly protects your equipment and surfaces during the cooler months when you are not swimming.
Many pool owners in our area skip the closing process because we do not experience freezing temperatures very often. While that is true, neglecting your pool during the off-season can still lead to algae growth, equipment problems, and expensive repairs when you try to start it up again. Our professional pool opening and closing services save you time, money, and frustration.
What We Include in Pool Opening Service
Getting your pool ready for swimming season is more than just turning on the pump and adding chemicals. We handle every step to make sure your pool is clean, balanced, and safe from day one.
- Remove and store winter cover (if applicable)
- Reconnect and inspect all pool equipment (pump, filter, heater, cleaner)
- Prime the pump and restart circulation system
- Remove debris and vacuum the pool thoroughly
- Brush walls, steps, and tiles to remove buildup
- Test and balance water chemistry (pH, alkalinity, chlorine, hardness)
- Shock the pool to eliminate bacteria and contaminants
- Clean or backwash the filter
- Inspect equipment for leaks, cracks, or damage
- Advise on any repairs or maintenance needed before swim season
Once we finish, your pool will be sparkling clean and ready for swimming. We recommend scheduling your pool opening in early spring so you can enjoy your pool as soon as the weather warms up.

Closing your pool for the off-season protects your equipment, keeps your water cleaner, and makes opening it again in the spring much easier. Here is what we do when we close your pool:
- Balance water chemistry to prevent algae and staining during winter
- Shock and treat the pool with winterizing chemicals
- Thoroughly clean the pool (skim, vacuum, brush)
- Lower water level if needed to protect tile and equipment
- Drain and winterize pool equipment (pump, filter, heater)
- Blow out plumbing lines to prevent freezing damage (if necessary)
- Install winter plugs in returns and skimmers
- Clean and store automatic pool cleaner
- Install winter cover (if requested)
Properly closing your pool prevents expensive freeze damage, keeps algae from taking over, and ensures your equipment lasts longer. When spring arrives, opening your pool will be quick and easy. For ongoing care throughout the year, consider our weekly pool maintenance service to keep everything running smoothly.
Off-Season Pool Care Options
Even if you close your pool for the winter, it still needs occasional attention. Leaves and debris can accumulate, water chemistry can drift, and equipment can develop problems if left unchecked for months.
We offer off-season maintenance plans that include monthly visits to check your pool, clean the cover, test the water, and make sure everything is in good shape. This service is especially helpful if you travel frequently or just do not want to worry about your pool during the cooler months. We also provide pool inspection services if you need a professional assessment of your pool condition before buying or selling a home.
