Pool Opening
Your swimming pool should be fun and something your family and friends enjoy. So let Lilly Pool and Spa help you get a good start for Spring by scheduling your Pool Opening today or request an appointment. Spring is a very busy time so schedule early. We recommend cleaning off decks and covers prior to our arrival. We recommend adding chemicals throughout the winter and prior to our arrival to ensure maximum service performance. Services preformed at pool opening:
- Remove Pool Cover
- Start-up Equipment (heater upon request)
- Brush walls and steps
- Vacuum Pool (only if water is clear when we arrive)
- Inspect and re-install deck equipment
- Add chemicals
- Note: Customer needs to have water level ½ way into skimmer housing. Place hose under cover and fill.
Please make sure your dogs are leashed, baskets are left out and gates/entry ways are accessible.
Pool Closing
We hope you and your family enjoyed your pool this summer. We recommend closing as late as possible since we have been experiencing warm falls and mild winters. Prior to our closings, we recommend you bring us a water sample and balance your pool water prior to our arrival so the chemicals can circulate 24 – 48 hours before closing and have the pool clean to save extra service time. We encourage everyone during the winter months to add chemicals to maintain clear water. You should pull back your cover and add liquids directly to water. This helps prevent green water and makes for an easier opening in the spring. Schedule your Pool Closing today or request an appointment.
Services performed at closing include:
- Winterize Equipment – pumps, filters, heater, chlorinators
- Blow out skimmer and return lines
- Vacuum Pool (if requested)
- Remove deck equipment, if required
- Add Chemicals (may need additional chemicals during winter months)
- Install Pool Cover
Pool Closing Recommendations:
- Customer needs to have covers left out at deck area
- Customer needs to have as many leaves out of pool as possible
- Customer needs to have covers, plugs and all other related equipment needed for closing are left out, Dogs are leashed and gates and entry ways are accessible.

Pool Safety Covers
A pool safety cover is the best way to protect family and friends and to optimize your investment, ensuring your swimming pool will remain the source of fun and enjoyment it was intended to be. If you already have a pool, or if you’re planning to build one, remember, a pool without a pool cover is like a house without a roof.
