Non-Routine Pool Opening (Solid cover with excess debris and/or water on cover)
Cost: This service will be charged hourly and typically costs between $500 - $750 plus any chemicals and materials used. If the cover is free of water and debris, the service will be billed as a routine pool opening (pricing above).

Non-Routine Pool Opening (Pump-out and powerwash—acid cleaning if applicable)
If your pool water is too badly contaminated to economically salvage we can in some cases drain and powerwash (and acid wash if plaster) the pool and fill with fresh water. This service will be charged hourly and is not recommended if not absolutely necessary, especially for vinyl liner pools. Many unforeseen problems can develop from draining a pool—especially if the presence of ground water is unknown or if it has recently rained a lot. Possible problems include:

  • Irreversible liner shrinkage (typically more problematic with older liners and those using a biguanide sanitizing systems.
  • Wrinkle formation in vinyl liners.
  • Ground water getting in behind the liner thus causing the need for temporary liner removal in order to remove the water. This, of course, opens the door to liner shrinkage as the liner does not respond well to sitting dry and relaxed for an extended period of time.
  • The entire pool can float out of the ground under extremely wet and rainy conditions.
