Seasonal opens and closes done properly. Cover it in fall, open it clean in spring, and skip the green swamp surprise both times.
Cover off, deck equipment reconnected, system fired up and pressure tested. Water balanced on day one so it's swimmable fast, not green for a month.
Lines blown out, equipment winterized, cover fitted right. Done properly in fall means an easy, cheap opening in spring.
Heater, salt cell, automation, and lighting checked during both visits. Small problems caught at opening instead of discovered in July.
Spring and fall slots fill fast. Call or stop by the shop to lock yours in.
