Pool Openings & Closings FAQs

  • When should I schedule my pool opening?

    We recommend scheduling your pool opening after your closing pool for the season. Spring fills up quickly, so booking early ensures you're ready when the weather warms up.

  • When should I close my pool for winter?

    In Kansas City, it is best to close your pool before leaves & other tree debris begin to fall into the pool. This time period can vary widely depending on your backyard & the surrounding trees, but most poeple try to close after Labor Day, but before Halloween. 

  • Can I open or close my pool myself?

    While some homeowners do basic steps themselves, professional service helps prevent costly mistakes—especially when it comes to winterizing plumbing, protecting equipment, and balancing water chemistry properly.

    Call A Professional
  • Do I need a pool cover for winter?

    Yes — we highly recommend custom safety covers like LOOP-LOC for maximum protection during the off-season. Covers protect against debris, accidents, UV damage, and weather.
