Pool Opening Services
We provide custom pool openings specific to your pool’s exact needs
Our pool opening services are tailor made for exactly what your pool needs. While some clients ask us to open the pool and then they take over, most of our customers prefer when we are fully responsible until the pool is clean and ready to swim.
We can handle all of your pool’s needs and we will return for follow-up visits as necessary. You can go about your life while we handle all aspects to get your pool open, clean, and ready to swim in.

Why Choose Sweetwater to Open Your Pool?
Sweetwater Pool is very different
Pool opening services can vary dramatically depending on who you hire. Some companies come take the cover off your pool, start your equipment, pour many chemicals in the pool, and NEVER come back. They leave the rest up to you. When the filter backs up in 24-48 hours, you are on the hook to make sure it is cleaned and working again. Sweetwater Pool is very different.
Pool Opening Costs
Costs are based on size, difficulty, and special features
The cost of opening a pool is based on the complexity plus the time needed to vacuum the pool. Chemicals are billed separately and are determined by the size of the pool.
How Much Does a Follow Up Visit Cost?
The cost of follow up visits is not included in the standard opening price. Follow up visits are billed at an additional hourly rate, plus the cost of chemicals.
The Day of Your Pool Opening
